Charles Leclerc set the fastest time in the third free practice session at Silverstone. Alexander Albon again showed speed in the Williams and was second, ahead of Fernando Alonso. Halfway through the session, rain started to fall, preventing the times from improving.

Leclerc eventually set the fastest time before it started raining on soft tyres. The majority of drivers set their fastest time on the soft tyres, notable was that Red Bull Racing drivers did not. Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez only used medium tyres and as a result did not get further than P8 and P14, respectively. Guanyu Zhou did not manage to set a time at all in the third practice session.
