F1 British Grand Prix qualifying – Start time, how to watch, channel

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.
