Charles Leclerc topped final practice for the British Grand Prix as forecasted rain hit Silverstone.
The Ferrari driver set a benchmark of 1:27.419 in the opening half an hour to finish 0.173secs faster than Williams' Alex Albon, who continued the team's fine start to the weekend.
Fernando Alonso was third quickest for Aston Martin ahead of Pierre Gasly's Alpine and Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton.
Carlos Sainz was sixth in the second Ferrari ahead of Logan Sargeant, whilst Max Verstappen was only eighth - albeit having only run the Medium tyre.
George Russell and AlphaTauri's Yuki Tsunoda rounded out the top 10, though the final times are largely unrepresentative with no true qualifying simulations taking place before the rain fell.
On Intermediate tyres, Verstappen was fastest by two seconds over Sainz.
