British Grand Prix: preview

Welcome to the big leagues, you must be new around here. After feeling the full force of Max Verstappen's win-at-all-costs mindset, Lando Norris is a white-hot ball of rage for the British Grand Prix. With the dismal weather conditions, the hardy Silverstone crowd could really do with some of that heat. Qualifying starts at 3pm BST / 10am ET.

As two of the closest friends in F1, they could make for bitter, bitter rivals. The McLaren man was forced off track just as he looked set to overtake Verstappen for the lead – and near-certain victory – in Austria last weekend, resulting in punctures for both cars. To add insult to injury, Verstappen was able to continue, bagging 10 points, while Norris' car had to be retired.

The collision allowed George Russell to take his second every F1 victory, which was Mercedes' first in a year and a half, squeezing the top seven ever tighter. Keep scrolling to find out where to watch free F1 live streams anywhere in the world for the British Grand Prix.
