LIVE: The second free practice session ahead of the British Grand Prix
The British Grand Prix weekend started with the first free practice this morning and now the cars are taking to the track for the second practice session around Silverstone. Scroll down for this live blog to not miss anything from the second free practice.
Varying circumstances
During the Formula 1 weekend in England, the temperature varies considerably. Today, it is particularly warm at Silverstone and temperatures are well above thirty degrees. During the second practice session, we can expect some long runs to give us a proper indicator of the pace come Sunday.
On Saturday and Sunday, the prediction is that it will be just under 20 degrees and so the Mercedes comes out as favourites again. The Red Bull Racing car has had an extra week to close the gap, but the question is whether that's enough. Racing Point is also looking for a podium, now it has become clear that they have the fastest car after Mercedes.
