Lando Norris was fastest for McLaren in a tight opening practice session at the British Grand Prix.
The Brit, looking to bounce back from his controversial collision with world championship leader Max Verstappen last weekend in Austria, took advantage of McLaren choosing to run soft tyres to top the timesheet. Norris was a tenth of a second faster than Aston Martin's Lance Stroll, who also ran soft tyres, with his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri two tenths back in third, before a technical issue cut his participation eight minutes short.
Yuki Tsunoda was last after beaching his RB in the gravel within the opening 10 minutes, triggering a red flag and ending his participation in the session. British teenager Oliver Bearman, fresh off signing a deal to drive for Haas next season on Thursday, was the highest placed of four drivers fulfilling the young driver sessions F1 teams are obliged to fulfil throughout the season.
