Formula 1 returns to action this weekend at the iconic Silverstone Circuit, with Scuderia Ferrari aiming to build on the encouraging signs shown in recent races. Follow the live coverage of Free Practice 1 (FP1) of the British Grand Prix, streamed in real-time on our website.
After delivering a strong performance last weekend at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austria, the Ferrari team is now seeking confirmation of its recent progress on British soil. The Italian outfit will be closely observed during FP1 at Silverstone as it attempts to maintain its momentum in what promises to be a highly competitive round of the 2025 Formula 1 World Championship.
Following the introduction of a new floor at the Austrian Grand Prix, Scuderia Ferrari has opted not to bring the updated rear suspension to Silverstone. The technical department at the Maranello-based team has instead decided to delay the debut of this second part of the upgrade package until the upcoming Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium. This strategic choice stems from the need to conduct a filming day at the Mugello circuit to analyze the early effects of the revised design that will be officially introduced during the Belgian round.
What time does Free Practice 1 start at Silverstone?
The first green light of the Formula 1 British Grand Prix weekend will come on at 13:30 (Central European Summer Time). This initial practice session lasts for one hour and will be crucial for all teams to begin fine-tuning their setups ahead of the remaining sessions. With weather conditions often playing a key role at Silverstone, the teams will also need to keep a close eye on the radar, as forecasts indicate a strong possibility of rain affecting the track throughout the weekend.
Rain has often played a decisive role in past editions of the British Grand Prix, and should the weather turn, it could once again add an element of unpredictability to the proceedings—potentially reshuffling the competitive order and offering opportunities for surprises during the weekend.
