Lance Stroll of Racing Point ruled the moment of practice consultation of Alexander Albon’s 2020 British Formula One Grand Prix striker, who crashed from his Red Bull mid-office.
Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton finished third and fifth, in any aspect of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, as they may not fit stroll time with a soft rubber, while Max Verstappen finished 14 in the other Red Bull after an altercation with Romain Grosjean alone. flexible tire effort.
In a 36-degree warmth in a Silverstone sweltering, the action took a while to begin for the time being at the 90-minute consultation.
Renault duo Daniel Ricciardo, Grosjean and Alfa Romeo Antonio Giovinazzi and Kimi Raikkonen had brief laps at the start of the race before Leclerc climbed to the most sensible level with an average of 1m28,773.
But in a while after publishing this time, Leclerc pointed out the way off the circuit after wasting the back of his SF1000 as he accelerated and spinning right after the left-hander came out.
Verstappen and Albon then degraded Leclerc to their media before Bottas set the fastest time with the yellow-walled C2 Pirelli rubber (which had been the compound during the first 3 races of the season) with 1m27,731s.
Approaching the midpoint, the platoon began passing its qualifying simulation tests, led by Albon, who was again the most sensible with a 1m27.363s that put him at 0.3 seconds of the most productive Bottas in the toughest rubber.
But Stroll then eclipsed this time with a 1m27.274s, despite sinking the left front wheel of his RP20 into the turf through Chapel as he shot the Hanger directly in front.
Verstappen was quick to begin his comfortable tire effort, however, he reached the other side of Grosjean running slower through the Maggots/Becketts complex and stopped, pointing out his fury at Haas’ driver, who described Verstappen’s reaction as “childish” on his team radio.
Then, the Mercedes drivers fixed their comfortable tires, but it’s possible they just didn’t fit Stroll and Albon, Bottas hit him third 0.157 seconds from first place, with Hamilton 0.15 seconds behind.
But his careers stopped halfway through the consultation when Albon lost the rear of his RB16 when he reached Stowe’s most sensible point on Stowe’s right and when he corrected the oversteer hit, his car was thrown left and right, sending him back to the barriers. Training
The effect on the rear and left of the car broke severely and pulled out the red flags and did not return to action after being recovered through the medical car.
The action restarted after a 10-minute delay, with Hamilton for a flying effort on the soft ones.
But the world champion gave up his turn after running deep at Brooklands and the box went on to collect long-term knowledge.
Carlos Sainz finished sixth ahead of Nico Hulkenberg, who finished 0.636 seconds of his teammate’s time at his time of consultation for Racing Point in Sergio Perez’s position.
Pierre Gasly, who with Lando Norris had a slow time at first repressed for escaping Stowe’s exit, took eighth place for AlphaTauri, with Ricciardo and Raikkonen completing the 10 most sensitive.
Verstappen had complained of understeer in the initial race, and Red Bull spent time running in his car after The Albon’s accident, however, the Grosjean incident meant his most productive time with his 1m28,390 that was in the midrange.
Sebastian Vettel’s riots on Friday continued due to a missing piece of FP2 when Ferrari replaced his car’s pedals after reporting something loose in his cab.
This meant that it remained anchored at the bottom of the clock with 8 laps completed until more than an hour of consultation had elapsed, after missing almost all of the FP1 with an intercooler challenge that had been corrected before the FP2.
Vettel, however, ventured with comfortable tires just over 25 minutes from the end, but a sloppy turn, which included a wide race from Woodcote and Via Chapel, scattering gravel and dust on those respective problems, meant that he had only stepped forward. P18.
Nicholas Latifi also turned around when he passed through Stowe in the final moments of the session, but his moment happened more around the corner, meaning he didn’t fly deeper and was able to escape.
Williams finished and last in the standings.
