Lewis Hamilton is set to start from pole position, while a single change has been made to the Sprint grid at the British Grand Prix. Here is the final starting grid for today's first session at the Silverstone Circuit!
On Friday afternoon, the seven-time world champion stormed to Sprint pole in his Ferrari, finishing just ahead of Kimi Antonelli. The Italian will line up alongside him on the front row today.
Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc will share the second row, after both drivers finished more than three tenths behind Hamilton. An all-British third row will then be made of George Russell and last year's British Grand Prix winner Lando Norris.
Oscar Piastri and Isack Hadjar will complete the fourth row, while starting just outside of the points-paying positions, Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad will line up in ninth and tenth place respectively.

A single change to the Sprint grid

Alexander Albon originally finished 16th in Sprint Qualifying on Friday, but after Williams changed his set up under Parc Fermé conditions, he is required to start from the pit lane. Williams adjusted the No. 23 car's setup to gather learnings for the rest of the weekend and the season.
This means that the two Haas drivers, the two Cadillacs and the two Aston Martins will all gain a position on the grid today. You can follow the session live with GPblog's Sprint liveblog here!
