Piastri on the front foot
Oscar Piastri is going to try and get by Verstappen as soon as possible. The Red Bull looks struggling on these inters.

Bortoleto has managed to get going again and is limping back to the pits with a dangling rear wing.
He just lost it on slicks after feeding in just a tiny bit too much throttle. That is the risk you take.

Bortoleto off
Bortoleto is off into the gravel at Turn 2! Can he keep going or is this another VSC?

At the start Lewis Hamilton was challenging Lando Norris for fourth and the pair almost made contact into Turn 3. That was very, very close.

Antonelli pits
Another pitstops for slicks under the VSC. Antonelli picks up hard tyres and that is a cheap pitstop for the rookie.
Piastri reported the last two corners are still too wet for slicks, mind. But we are not far away from the crossover point.

Replays shows Lawson made contact with the Haas of Esteban Ocon.
They went three-wide and it looks like Ocon was sandwiched in the middle as Yuki Tsunoda got up the inside.

Yesterday six drivers qualified within 0.229s from pole. The race pace between Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari looked similar too.

Rain has stopped
It has now stopped raining. Definitely a start on inters, but let's see how quickly the track dries up for slicks.

National anthem
BRIT Award-winner Becky Hill performs 'God Save the King' followed by a flyover of the Red Arrows.
That's the sign to start vacating the grid and get ready for 52 laps of Silverstone.

Wing choices
The rain is not the best news for polesitter Max Verstappen, who took his fourth pole of the season yesterday thanks to a lower downforce rear wing, which helped balance out his Red Bull.
That lower downforce wing might come back to bite him now in the wet, but we are talking about Max Verstappen after all. You wouldn't bet against it.

The teams are still having their gazebos up on the starting grid, but the sky is getting ever so brighter.
We're expecting a dry spell and then potentially more precipitation later on.

Fun fact courtesy of our news editor Ben Vinel. Lewis Hamilton has won the latest two races held on 6 July, both at Silverstone.
Can he make it three, and an unprecedented 10th home win? Ferrari was looking strong throughout, and both he and Leclerc have loaded up their car with downforce, which is handy in the wet.

Wet start
Buut whoever wants to win this race will have to master the conditions, as it looks like we will have a start on intermediate tyres.
It started raining heavily this morning. Less so at this very moment, but it's still coming down on the grid. Jeopardy!

We're looking for an heir to Lewis Hamilton, who grabbed an unforgettable ninth Siverstone win with Mercedes last year.
Lando Norris said he would trade in all his previous win for a home victory. If he does, it would be another important step in the championship fight against team-mate Piastri. The gap currently stands at 15 points after Norris' win last weekend in Austria.
