Formula 1 returns to Great Britain this week for the British Grand Prix, held at the iconic Silverstone circuit.
Whilst media activities will take place as usual on Thursday, there are some key changes to the traditional weekend schedule due to the first Sprint Qualifying event being trialled. On Friday, there will be one practice session in the afternoon before the normal style of qualifying takes place later that day. This will determine the running order for the sprint on Saturday.
There will be a second practice session on Saturday afternoon before Sprint Qualifying is held for the first time. The finishing order of the shortened race will then decide the grid for Sunday's main Grand Prix.
RacingNews365.com will be on hand to cover all of the action and you can find our live blog HERE. We will also have exclusive interviews, news and analysis throughout the entire weekend in Great Britain.
