FORMULA ONE has arrived at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton and George Russell aim for a victory on home turf.

However, Hamilton's involvement in Sunday’s Grand Prix is still under threat as his war with the FIA over jewellery continues. The Silver Arrows have claimed the smooth surface at Silverstone could play to their advantage after the team has fared better on purpose-built tracks this season. We've got so much bigger fish to fry." He explained: "It must also make sense for me to participate in it. He claimed it would be "wrong" for the FIA to make changes mid-season despite calls from Mercedes to change the rules. Lewis Hamilton has claimed he "will be racing this weekend" after his jewellery war with the FIA continues. He added: "It's kind of crazy to think that with everything that's going on in the world that is the focus of people. Lewis Hamilton has removed his nose stud ahead of the British Grand Prix as his jewellery exemption comes to an end. A fire broke out in the Silverstone media centre minutes before the start of First Practice at the British Grand Prix. Ted Kravitz has warned Lewis Hamilton and George Russell will enjoy "big ticket upgrades" at the British Grand Prix. FORMULA ONE has arrived at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton and George Russell aim for a victory on home turf. Mercedes are cautiously optimistic they can challenge closer to the front at the British Grand Prix with the team bringing new updates to Lewis Hamilton and George Russell’s car.

Ferrari's Carlos Sainz was fastest during British Grand Prix practice on Friday, ahead of the Mercedes of Silverstone's hero Lewis Hamilton.

Leclerc took P1 back with 1m29.639s, and then improved to 1m29.462s. Sainz did likewise to take P2, 0.081s in arrears, ahead of Verstappen who was over four tenths off in third.

Christian Horner was left puzzled by Max Verstappen being booed by fans at Silverstone on Thursday night, while walking on the track.

Next weekend, I know that there’s going to be a lot of support. “But it’s something that he accepts. “And as Red Bull, we’re a young team, we’re a very inclusive team.

Carlos Sainz topped the times on Friday for Ferrari at the Formula 1 British Grand Prix. Here's how and when to watch qualifying.

Mild and cloudy weather is forecast for Saturday afternoon for the start of qualifying at Silverstone, with a strong chance of rain showers. For the entire 2022 F1 season, Channel 4 will broadcast highlights of every qualifying and race of each event. Sky Sports can also be accessed through NOW with a one-off day payment of £11.98 or a month membership of £33.99 per month. Live streaming through NOW is also available in the UK. Coverage of British GP qualifying will start at 2:55pm BST on the BBC Sport website and the BBC Sounds app. In the United Kingdom, every F1 practice, qualifying and race is broadcast live on Sky Sports F1 and Sky Sports Main Event, with British GP qualifying coverage starting at 2:10pm BST.

With the first free practice session behind them, the Formula One drivers are now preparing for the second and final session of the day.

Mercedes believe they have got a grip on this now and there are strong suggestions they will be in the mix. However, we are at Silverstone, and that means there is always a chance that rain will throw a spanner in the works. During the second free practice session at Silverstone, the teams will focus on finding the right set-up for the race.

Red Bull boss Christian Horner says it is "never nice" to hear boos but insists Max Verstappen "accepts" the reaction from the British GP crowd.

Join Sky Sports F1 for extensive coverage across the British GP weekend - the race starts at 3pm on Sunday, July 3. While some cheered the Dutchman, he was the only driver who encountered any sort of negativity. "Then this comes out and we felt we had made a very strong statement through the action of actually dropping Juri from the team and not in any way condoning any form of racism and discrimination. That is competition. The boos for Verstappen also followed his comments in the media on Thursday where he condemned Piquet's racially offensive comments in reference to Hamilton, but also insisted Piquet - who is his partner Kelly's father - was "definitely not a racist" and suggested the scandal had been "blown out of proportion". Christian Horner talks to Sky Sports F1 about Max Verstappen's frosty reaction from the British GP crowd on Thursday and Red Bull's lack of statement in support of Lewis Hamilton after Nelson Piquet's comments

Dans la campagne anglaise, des centaines d'ingénieurs et autres mécaniciens s'affairent chaque jour à rendre les monoplaces de l'écurie Mercedes, championne en ...

En cette veille de week-end, la salle est vide. Aérodynamisme, test, développement… quelle que soit la salle dans laquelle ils travaillent, chacun à son poste sait précisément ce qu’il a à faire dans un silence quasi religieux, parfois bousculé par le rugissement des machines toutes plus chères les unes que les autres. Une devise qui, de parole d’employés, tient à cœur au patron de Mercedes, Toto Wolff.

The son of Mario Andretti has had much racing success, but breaking into Formula 1 poses a major challenge.

“There are millions of people embracing” the addition of an Andretti team, he said. “We’re taking a risk, but we think it’s worth the risk.” “Andretti is a big name in motorsport,” he said. For Andretti to join, Formula 1’s governing body, the F.I.A., must issue a tender calling for interest from new teams. “We want to be an American team that wants to develop American drivers for the future,” Andretti said. But we need to protect the teams.” At the moment, we are in a good place.” Andretti is willing to pay this, yet the existing teams do not think this is enough to make up for the possible lost income. Toto Wolff, the chief executive of Mercedes, said any new team would have to prove it could bring more money into Formula 1 than it would cost the existing operations. “They are a very good organization, very professional,” Alonso said. We think the more competition, the better.” He is the son of the 1978 Formula 1 world champion, Mario Andretti, and owns Andretti Autosport, a team that has enjoyed enormous success in the United States through IndyCar, winning the Indianapolis 500 five times.

Ferrari's new low drag rear wing will be a help but not a game-changer in its top speed fight with Formula 1 rival Red Bull, reckons Carlos Sainz.

And then we look at their top speeds and race pace and say how can we get there? “I don't think so,” he said. “I think for sure they look at our qualifying speed and they say, how can we get there?

The three-time world champion made further unsavoury comments in a 2021 podcast, beyond those brought to public attention on Monday.

First practice at Silverstone proved to be of little purpose for the drivers, with teams largely opting not to run in the rain. The condemnation facing Nelson Piquet has escalated as evidence of further racist and also homophobic slurs he has made against Lewis Hamilton has emerged. Since April the FIA’s strict enforcement of its rule banning drivers from wearing jewellery in the car has been at odds with Hamilton, who has said he would not remove his nose stud.

Also note the wirework inside the inlet to help prevent debris being collected and clogging up the internal pipework, which would lead to overheating.

More video in Brazilian media shows retired Formula One champion Nelson Piquet using homophobic language and more racial slurs about Lewis Hamilton.

After former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone defended Piquet on British TV, Hamilton questioned why "older voices" are given prominence in F1. He added "neguinho" can be used as a short for "people in general." The term is not necessarily a racist slur in Brazil, but it is an expression that is increasingly seen as distasteful, and its phrasing can also emphasize that.

Red Bull's Formula 1 upgrade push has continued at the British Grand Prix with an intriguing introduction of what looks like a 'shelf' along its engine ...

In creating this 'shelf', the team has been able to isolate the airflow's passage over the upper surface of the sidepod. And, just like AlphaTauri, it has resulted in a change to the position of the upper cooling louvre panel, in order that it isolates the heat being rejected from the panel from the airflow passing over the sidepod. The team has made a significant change to the shape of the bodywork where the sidepods and engine cover meet.

Mercedes has revealed the scale of the updates that it is bringing to Formula 1's British Grand Prix.

"But still, there's no guarantees because as I've said before, every race we go to we're sort of unlocking a different issue from the car. This increases floor load and also improves flow to the diffuser. The team explained the reason for this tweak was to downwash the flow local to the chassis side to help shed "a vortex which then goes on to improve flow underneath the floor".

Formula 1 returns to one of its most iconic circuits this weekend for the British Grand Prix. For multiple drivers and over half the teams, Silverstone is ...

They surpassed that by the fourth round of the season thanks to a strong car and a wise decision to reshuffle their driver lineup. - Silverstone’s smooth surface was repaved a few years ago and the fast corners will give Mercedes the first chance to retest their upgraded car floor since Barcelona. They are bringing several upgrades this weekend which should improve their bouncing issues and increase their pace. First used as the opening Grand Prix of the 1950 season, the current version of the track features 18 turns and two DRS zones. The gap grew thanks to his teammate’s breakdown (Sergio Perez, 129) and the nearest rivals behind the Red Bull pair — Charles Leclerc (126) and George Russell (111) — finishing off the podium. Verstappen (175) controlled the Canadian Grand Prix two weeks ago, extending his lead to 46 points. Earlier this week reports broke that ESPN will secure a new contract with F1 at the end of this season.

A group of environmental protesters have threatened to invade the track during Sunday's British Grand Prix.

In a statement, Silverstone chief executive Stuart Pringle said: "We work closely with Northamptonshire Police and the emergency service agencies to put plans and procedures in place to ensure we are fully prepared to handle such situations. "Going onto a live racetrack is extremely dangerous -- if you go ahead with this reckless plan you are jeopardizing lives. Silverstone's race has been the scene of a track invasion once before.

Eight of the 10 Formula 1 teams have brought upgrades to the British Grand Prix, as revealed in the latest 'show and tell'.

The front suspension pushrod has also been reshaped as part of the revised flow. The vanes atop the sidepod have been redesigned, with the aim of improving airflow around the cockpit. The cooling exit has also been revised as part of this aero upgrade. The front brake calipers have been re-engineered to avoid the hot spots of the previous components. The sidepod vanes have been re-angled in a way that the team claims improves the cooling efficiency of the radiator. A trimmed version of the medium downforce wing family has been created especially for Silverstone.

'Miles off': Door ajar for Mercedes resurgence; McLaren rediscovers mojo: F1 practice Talking Pts.

The teams were clearly sufficiently concerned, as evidenced by the lack of running in FP1 to conserve wet-weather rubber. Alfa Romeo is one of only two teams to bring no updates whatsoever to this race, which may perversely hand it a small advantage, at least early in the weekend, given it will require less time to understand its car. Daniel Ricciardo was 0.2 seconds slower than Alonso as the next-best midfielder. Mercedes, meanwhile, focused on the harder tyre compounds and seemed to reap the rewards. “Not a great start. “I think from our preparation that we had and simulator, the car is miles off,” he said. Deducing race pace is considerably more difficult. “I’m feeling pretty good,” Hamilton said. What’s more, Mercedes has brought a raft of upgrades to the car for this weekend aimed purely at performance rather than troubleshooting its ride quality issues. His next-best lap would’ve dropped him to second behind Hamilton. The Silverstone track suits the car’s strengths through high-speed corners and its smooth surface also helps to limit the bouncing, much as we saw in Spain, where the W13 was comfortably in the top three in terms of Sunday pace. Heavy rain arrived just as the weekend’s first timed session got underway, but it drenched only the second sector, leaving much of the rest of the track dry.

Red Bull hold a 76-point lead over Ferrari in the 2022 F1 Constructors' Championship ahead of the British Grand Prix.

"F1 drivers are completing a number of complex tasks simultaneously at speeds of up to 200mph during a race, and this camera angle – alongside innovations such as helmet cam - will help our fans to understand the challenges of being in the cockpit. "This is another in a line of innovations we have introduced to our broadcasts that bring fans closer to the action," said Dean Locke, the director of broadcast and media at F1. The move is set to give fans a chance to see how Norris works the pedals around a high-speed lap at Silverstone, acting as a first trial by F1. The footage will be broadcast live during FP1, with the hope of then rolling out the technology to rest of grid in the coming races.

We’re still in there and still have a few things to look at you know, with tyres as well.” I think we know what we have to work on and that’s what we’ll try to do overnight. Whereas normally in FP1 you just build it up,” said the 24-year-old Dutchman, who leads the title race ahead of teammate Sergio Perez by 46 points with Leclerc third and adrift by 49. “We got out there, had a little bit of fun,” Ricciardo said. But, again, tomorrow probably it’s raining so you have again different kinds of conditions. “We expect to be competitive at every circuit and we hope to do well here,” said Sainz. “I expect it because the car is a very competitive car, as is the Red Bull, as is the Merc when there’s a bit less bumps, and there’s a bit more high-speed!

He added, “we are more than happy to speak with you to help you facilitate a peaceful protest at the circuit, we just please ask that you do not create a situation that puts lives in danger.” In 2003, a radical Irish priest sprinted down the Hangar Straight and was almost hit by David Coulthard. Four Extinction Rebellion protesters were arrested during the 2020 grand prix, which was held without fans present due to the COVID-19 global pandemic.

F1 22 launches July 1 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. The game was reviewed on Xbox Series X with a download code provided by Electronic Arts. Vox Media has affiliate partnerships. If Codemasters is trying to encroach on their turf with the Supercars, the studio’s initial offering is nothing for PlayStation or Xbox to fear. (Alfa Romeo and Haas are reliably reaching Q3 and scoring points in real life, after all.) And for players who like the classic up-from-nothing story of sports video game careers, F1 22 still has plenty of toggles and options to set up a long haul. - Image: Codemasters/Electronic Arts - Image: Codemasters/Electronic Arts - Image: Codemasters/Electronic Arts - Image: Codemasters/Electronic Arts - Image: Codemasters/Electronic Arts - Image: Codemasters/Electronic Arts - Image: Codemasters/Electronic Arts So it feels like there’s a lower, yet more equitable, performance ceiling at places like Spain; last year, elite players, particularly esports stars, could tiptoe through its twitchy final sector in times that always looked impossible to me. It’s the best trait of F1 22.

Otherwise, you can stick with one of the game's five presets to get an image you like, as well as use the dynamic resolution option in the Display settings menu ...

At 4K with the Ultra High preset, it offered a 50% boost in performance with the Quality mode. I’m struggling to see a difference between the quality modes for ray tracing, so if you turn it on, I’d recommend sticking with Medium quality. The game supports Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) and AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR). They both give you a way to improve performance by lowering the resolution the game renders at. F1 2022 doesn’t call for much, but the system requirements are a little misleading. As mentioned, F1 2022 is fairly CPU limited, so performance returns start to fall off beyond the Medium preset. If you want to go at it on your own, here are the best settings for F1 2022: I booted up the DT test bench to find the best settings for F1 2022 so you can have a high frame rate. It should be clear by now, but ray tracing is extremely demanding in F1 2022. The Ultra Low preset isn’t too useful for the best graphics cards, offering only a slight bump over the Medium preset. Ray tracing is a performance killer, though, and it’s not worth the frame rate dip for the vast majority of players. Otherwise, you’ll likely have to settle for frame rates below 60 fps, especially if you want to run at a high resolution. Otherwise, you can stick with one of the game’s five presets to get an image you like, as well as use the dynamic resolution option in the Display settings menu to improve your frame rate.

This is ideal for those who do not use VR, as keeping the column on does block the view ahead and may lead to unfortunate accidents. But it is true, practicing through the Time Trial mode does give you the best conditions possible to learn. For the formation laps, a graphic is now overlayed in front of your pit box to show how well you’ve parked. Give them a lot more respect on the corners, as their speed upon corner entry needs to be vastly slower than its open-wheeler friend. This is also a personal preference, but the theme option is recommended for content creators as it doesn’t flag up any copyright issues within video platforms. For the rears, hard acceleration coming out of corners or from a lower gear while on the pitstraight is the key, where you’re now able to simulate a burnout to gain a better launch. Speaking of starts, improvements to the immersion of formation laps and pit stops have now been introduced for F1 22. Remember, you can also enter the pit box at a different angle if you’d like to replicate real life. This is much easier for the start procedure thanks to the new ‘immersive’ formation lap mode. Warming up the tyres in-game is now a larger priority than before.
