F1 British Grand Prix qualifying – Start time, how to watch, channel
The new generation of Formula 1 cars will unleash their full power to tackle the high-downforce Silverstone Circuit on Saturday, July 2. Here's how you can watch qualifying for the 2022 British Grand Prix on July 2.
Carlos Sainz set the pace for Ferrari in a dry second practice on Friday, leading the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton by a tenth of a second.
Lando Norris was an impressive third in the McLaren, ahead of Red Bull driver and championship leader Max Verstappen - the top four separated by just two tenths of a second.
It remains to be seen if Mercedes will continue to trouble the frontrunners and create a three-way fight for pole position on Saturday, or slip back to its usual third place as Red Bull and Ferrari turn up their engines in qualifying.
