The third and final free practice for the British is over. At a soaking wet Silverstone, George Russell managed to set the fastest lap of the session, followed by his teammate Lewis Hamilton. Lando Norris rounded out the top three to give the Brits a 1-2-3 at the end of the session.
After only 10 minutes on the track, Pierre Gasly ended up in the gravel with his Alpine, leading to the red flag being waved at Silverstone. For the Frenchman, who incurred a grid penalty of 50 spots, it was immediately over. The other drivers were able to resume the session fairly quickly.
Mercedes can look back on the final practice session in England with satisfaction. With a 1:37.529, Russell grabbed the fastest time. Hamilton was only +0.035 from his British teammate, completing the 1-2 at his home circuit. Norris finished under two-tenths behind Russell in P3.
