How to watch the British Grand Prix: Mercedes were a class above the rest of the teams, with Lewis Hamilton securing pole position ahead of Valtteri Bottas by three tenths of a second. They left the rest of the drivers trailing in their wake, with Hamilton a second ahead of Max Verstappen’s Red Bull in third. McLaren scored good race positions and will be looking to take the midfield win, while Vettel and Albon had a qualifying session to forget, their trouble weekends ending in 10th and 12th respectively. It’s looking like a Mercedes win for the race, but plenty could still happen as we look forward to the race at Silverstone.
