Hamilton sets the pace in FP1 at Silverstone
Lewis Hamilton dominated the opening practice session at his home British Grand Prix, setting the pace in FP1 with a 1m 26.892s lap. The seven-time World Champion edged out fellow Briton Lando Norris by a mere two-hundredths of a second, with McLaren's Oscar Piastri completing the top three.
The session saw action from new faces Arvid Lindblad and Paul Aron making their F1 weekend debuts, while traffic proved a recurring issue for several drivers. Max Verstappen rounded out the top 10 amidst ongoing speculation about his future. Teams will now analyze data ahead of FP2, as Hamilton aims for a record-extending tenth win at Silverstone.
