British GP schedule: UK time, when to watch Silverstone F1 weekend on Sky Sports and Sky Showcase

Must read

Formula 1 completes its summer triple-header with the British Grand Prix at Silverstone just days on from a controversial clash between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris in Austria.

Norris, George Russell and Lewis Hamilton will all be racing in front of the home crowd, with all three in the running to be on the podium and perhaps even on the top step.

There is tension going into Silverstone after Verstappen and Norris dramatically collided on Sunday at the Red Bull Ring, which could mark the start of a big battle between the pair over the rest of this season.

You won’t want to miss any of the action and you can watch every F1 session from Silverstone for free on Sky Showcase, if you have a Sky box, and on Sky Sports F1.

McLaren haven’t won the British Grand Prix since Hamilton’s memorable victory in the wet in 2008, but Norris will be desperate to respond after numerous near misses in recent events.

He trails Verstappen by 81 points in the drivers’ championship and needs to start reeling in the deficit to stand a realistic chance of challenging for the title later this year.
