British Grand Prix – Free practice 2: Carlos first, Charles fifth


The second hour of British Grand Prix free practice at Silverstone took place entirely in dry conditions and was therefore much more meaningful than the first session, with Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc, both completing a lot of laps on their way to being fastest overall and fifth on the time sheet respectively.



53 laps. Scuderia Ferrari and the other teams were able to make up for the time lost earlier: Carlos and Charles started off on the Medium tyres, gradually improving their lap times. Leclerc did a 1’29”639 and then a 1’29”462, while Sainz stopped the clocks in 1’29”962 before improving down to a 1’29”543.



After pitting to take on Soft tyres, Carlos managed a 1’28”942, with Charles posting a 1’29”404. In the final part of the session, both drivers focused on long runs, with Carlos

British Grand Prix - Free practice 1: a rain-affected session



Silverstone, 1 July 2022 –More questions than answers at the end of the first free practice session for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. The rain arrived to upset the teams’ plans, with the drivers only putting in a handful of laps.



15 laps.  Just before the start of the session, rain soaked the track. Charles and Carlos went out on Intermediate tyres to assess the conditions, which could be repeated tomorrow during qualifying. The Spaniard pitted immediately, while the Monegasque did four laps, the best in 1’43”801.



After a short pause, Carlos went out again and posted a 1’42”967. But then it became clear that the track was still not dry enough for slicks, while not really being suited to Intermediates either, as they would just get damaged, so all the drivers pitted. After around 30 minutes, the cars finally went out again for the final few minutes, but an off-track excursion from Lance Stroll brought out the red flags and the session did not resume.
