Everything You Need To Know About The British GP

After Verstappen's excellent drive in the Austrian GP, the drivers are heading back to the home of racing, as next up is the British Grand Prix!

With the British GP up next, check out all the latest details on the practice, qualifying and race sessions below.

LATEST - Verstappen On Pole Following Sprint Qualifying

In a complete diversion from the usual method of qualifying, the British GP saw the introduction of the 'Sprint' format. Used in F2 racing, a usual qualifying event took place yesterday to determine the grid placement for today's race.

The 17 lap sprint race then determined the starting order for the full length race tomorrow. For winning the Sprint, Max also earns 3 chapionship points. Hamilton and Bottas earn 2 and 1 point respectively for finishing 2nd and 3rd.

Current Driver Standings

The British GP weekend was the most dominant weekend of Max Verstappen's F1 career and quite possibly where the Dutchman became the true favourite for the 2021 championship.

Hamilton is still well in the race but sits 32 points behind the Red Bull driver.

Sergio Perez currently sits in third place, with Lando Norris and Valtteri Bottas battling it out too.

George Russell, Mick Schumacher, Nikita Mazepin and Nicholas Latifi are all still yet to score points.
