Formula 1 News: Lando Norris Dominates Friday Practice Sessions at British GP
July 5, 2024 | Silverstone, UK
Lando Norris topped both Friday practice sessions at the British Grand Prix, leading a McLaren 1-2 ahead of teammate Oscar Piastri in FP2. The British driver is looking to bounce back from his clash with Max Verstappen while fighting for the lead at the Austrian GP last time out.
Red Bull’s Sergio Perez took third on the second practice timesheet, followed by Nico Hulkenberg in the Haas and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc. Lewis Hamilton finished sixth for Mercedes, while Verstappen could only manage seventh for Red Bull. All teams were forced to alter their run plans in second practice due to an incoming rain shower that arrived in the session’s final 10 minutes.
Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz took eighth in FP2, with Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll and Austrian GP winner George Russell rounding out the top 10. Pierre Galy will carry a grid penalty into the British GP for exceeding his power unit parts allowance, meaning he’ll start from the back of the grid for Alpine.
