Max Verstappen topped the times in the first practice session for this weekend’s Formula 1 British Grand Prix.
The reigning World Champion clocked a best lap of 1:28.600s to lead his Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez by 0.4s.
Ex-Red Bull driver Alex Albon wound up a surprising third for Williams, ahead of Fernando Alonso in the first of the Aston Martins.
Charles Leclerc was next in the Ferrari, separated from his team-mate Carlos Sainz by the Alpine of Esteban Ocon.
Both McLarens ended the hour inside the top 10, Oscar Piastri 0.2s shy of Lando Norris on his first run with the upgraded MCL60 car.
