At 16:30 UK time the first sprint race in Formula 1 will take place. On Friday the drivers qualified for the sprint qualifying, as it is officially called. The result of the sprint qualifying will form the final starting grid for the full Grand Prix on Sunday.

Lewis Hamilton set the fastest time in Q3 on Friday, not only winning the 'Pirelli Speed King Award', but also getting the start from the front of the grid, with Max Verstappen alongside him. Valtteri Bottas and Charles Leclerc make up the second row of the grid, followed by Sergio Perez and Lando Norris.

The driver who reaches the chequered flag first after 17 laps wins Pirelli's official Pole Position Award and will therefore start from the front on Sunday when it's time for the British Grand Prix.
