[Turn Five Podcast @TurnFivePodcast]

[Turn Five Podcast @TurnFivePodcast]

@F1 However, after qualifying, Pierre Gasly was given a 3 place grid drop for impeding Lance Stroll during Q1, so the grid now forms up like this.

[Turn Five Podcast @TurnFivePodcast]

@F1 @Formula2 @Formula3 Finally we have @f1academy's reverse grid race, where Felbermayr took a lights to Flag win, with Bättig putting in another strong performance as the wildcard, hope to see her enter fully next season.

[Turn Five Podcast @TurnFivePodcast]

And so, Sprint Saturday has come to an end, meaning it is time for the #BritishGP Saturday Classification Thread!

First up as always is @F1 who today had the Sprint and then Grand Prix Qualifying!

[Turn Five Podcast @TurnFivePodcast]

🏁CHEQUERED FLAG 🏁
And Felbermayr takes the lights to Flag win in the reverse grid race! Gademan comes home in 2nd, with Lloyd on 3rd.

That brings sprint Saturday to a close here at Silverstone, but join us tomorrow for the main event, Grand Prix Sunday!

LAP 8/13
Felbermayr continues to lead, the main battle is for 7th where Bruce, Dobson and Bättig are all battling from brooklands right down to Vale!

[Turn Five Podcast @TurnFivePodcast]

🟢 GREEN FLAG 🟢
LAP 1/13
Felbermayr gets off the line well and holds the lead of the F1 Academy reverse grid race!

[Turn Five Podcast @TurnFivePodcast]

So Round 1 of Q3 is in the books and we are 2 by 2 by 2.
Mercedes lead with Kimi ahead of George, then comes Ferrari in favour of Hamilton. Next is Red Bull with Hadjar once again ahead of Max this weekend, then come the McLarens who seem slow. VCARB yet to do a lap.

[Turn Five Podcast @TurnFivePodcast]

🟢GREEN FLAG 🟢
And the top 10 shootout is underway, but no one is coming out!

Thinking it may be the same as SQ3 where drivers are only going to do one push lap....

Scratch that, Piastri is on track!

[Turn Five Podcast @TurnFivePodcast]

Eliminated in Q2:
BOR
GAS
HUL
BEA
SAI
ALB

[Turn Five Podcast @TurnFivePodcast]

🏁CHEQUERED FLAG 🏁
And for Q2, it's Kimi taking the top time, ahead of a Ferrari 2-3 with Leclerc the faster of the Prancing Horses.

McLaren squeeze through in 7th and 9th, not a good session for them at all.

[Turn Five Podcast @TurnFivePodcast]

Halway through Q2, and the big shocks at the moment is Piastri in the drop zone, and Norris teetering very close to it. Could we lose them at this point?

[Turn Five Podcast @TurnFivePodcast]

UPDATE:
Fernandos quickest lap has been reinstated, moving him up to P20

[Turn Five Podcast @TurnFivePodcast]

🏁CHEQUERED FLAG 🏁
And Hadjar tops the session with Liam Lawson in 2nd!

However Ferrari saving tyres, only doing 1 run.

Eliminated:
OCO
BOT
COL
PER
STR
ALO

[Turn Five Podcast @TurnFivePodcast]

Q2 is about to begin!

[Turn Five Podcast @TurnFivePodcast]

RACE CONTROL
START OF Q2 IS DELAYED

[Turn Five Podcast @TurnFivePodcast]

Lots of gravel from Colapintos off at the end of the session, still being cleared by the marshals, so no restart time yet
