15:00
Training begins
The light goes green and that is the second Formula 1 training Open at Silverstone
14:53
NOW LIVE: 2. TRAINING
We will comment on the 2nd practice of course live in the ticker above. There are also driver positions and live time slots, so you always have the perfect overview.
14:47
Alonso vs. Magnussen – No Penalty
Commissioners have both sides and must conclude that both drivers have apparently received incorrect information from their teams. So, they did not know what the other driver was doing. The following maneuvers were not classified as dangerous by the commissioners. No punishment.
14:38
Grosjean repair
In the Haas box, the new chassis of Romain Grosjean is reassembled, but almost no part is attached to him. No question, we will not see Grosjean again during the second training session. Haas will lose valuable training time. In a little over 20 minutes, it continues with the drive
14:28
Support power units
Here is the current status of the engine components already used – was rebuilt especially to Valtteri Bottas, but also to Nico Hulkenberg. Bottas may be something else – Mercedes hopes the engine can be used again. At Hülkenberg at least the Turbo should be history, after Austria because of the failure of Hülkenbergs.
14:16
45 minutes remaining
Waiting for the 2nd training session, we take a look at one of the Kimi Raikkonen parked his Ferrari soon after in the left turn of Luffield, after losing the line. At least he could continue. Apart from that, Räikkönen remained in the background, finishing the training with more than 2 tenths of a second behind his teammate Sebastian Vettel.

14:03
Also in the Stewards
Not only Magnussen and Alonso have to go to the commissioners. They also have some questions for Sainz. It is supposed to be bent in the pit lane too late in the first test session. There is a Boller, in front of which you have to be on the right. It is said that Sainz drove to the right after the Boller, which race director Charlie Whiting explicitly banned.
13:57
Tire Strategy
A first overview of the selection of tires in the first practice. The focus has been on the soft tire for almost every team. Significant exception: Red Bull lets Ricciardo do a few laps with the hard tire before sending it on soft. And Max Verstappen only got two pairs of mid-size tires for training and was the only driver to have not made a smooth ride
13:48
McLaren rescue [19659004] This training was the beginning of the new McLaren sedan. Executive floor, Andrea Stella as director of performance and Gil de Ferran as sports director. More information on the McLaren upheaval can be found here:

13:40
McLaren's job
Yesterday, Alonso was already saying that McLaren would spend a lot of time training. This seemed to be the case today. Alonso drove a few rounds of gauges, then spent a lot of time in the stands. In the end, however, he was allowed to come in the 15th with new soft tires, beating both Renault, who remained very discreet in this training.
13:30
Bumps
Surprisingly a lot of pilots entered today's first practice session on a very irregular course. It was not really planned – after all, the track was completely refitted in January. Among the riders who wondered about the moguls was Lewis Hamilton. In fact, the goal was yes to get rid of bumps with a new track surface
13:24
Haas in trouble
"Now a normal day at the office," said Steiner at the conference press release Friday. Haas. "For a car, we have to change chassis, and for the other car, the driver is at the commissaires." Magnussen still has the decision in the dispute with Fernando Alonso. I can not start much worse. Although – Grosjean was significantly faster than the rest of the midfielder. Do not help it now.
13:19
Grosjean ready for today
Seems like the day Grosjean is over for today. Haas will have to change the chassis of his car, he will not go out during the lunch break. Steiner confirms it now in the press conference of the team
13:13
DRS in turn 1 – how?
After Grosjean takes off, it makes sense – a brief overview of how DRS works. In a DRS zone, it can basically be opened as soon as the driver wishes. Then the driver can manually close the DRS, which is exactly what everyone does before lap 1. This will allow them to open it again. However, if a driver had to brake or brake, the DRS closes automatically. In this case, it can no longer be opened. Therefore, everyone wants to close the DRS manually – do not lose the advantage according to Curve 1. Grosjean flew away because he apparently missed the button when closing
13:04
Turn 1 and DRS
In summary: Turn 1 is unlikely to go full throttle with open DRS. This has happened several times at Red Bull, but we do not know how much fuel and what engine power is used. The rest of the field closed the DRS before the turn and reopened it. Grosjean did not shut up and immediately lost his lineup when he entered, but he wants to do it involuntarily.
12:54
Grosjean Crash
So much for the end of the negative spiral of Romain Grosjeans. After 4th place in Austria, things continue as before. At Haas, there is much more to screw, Grosjean has carefully disassembled the front of his car. He blames the bumps on lap 1 for his start at the first test session
12:49 pm
Verstappen Defect
This sounds a lot like the failure of Max Verstappen in the Red Bull. From the last corner, he could not change, put the car of the same thing. Red Bull Classic Lunch – a car with a fault, work instead of food. Is there even a punishment for Verstappen because he has to change gears? Probably not. On Friday, teams can ride with a different gearbox – only Saturday, the race gearbox, which has to hold 6 weekends, will be installed. So, for Verstappen in a gearbox damage, no consequence threatens. With the exception of the canceled lunch break
12:35
Investigation against Magnussen
As it is said that Kevin Magnussen drove dangerously while training against Fernando Alonso, the two drivers must now join the commissioners.
12:31 pm
Hamilton leading in first practice session
In his home race, Lewis Hamilton starts the fastest time in the first practice session. The Brit was much faster than his teammate. Sebastian Vettel, Daniel Ricciardo and Kimi Räikkönen complete the top 5.
12:26
Virtual safety car again
Max Verstappen having had to put out his Red Bull, the race director has again the car of virtual security proclaimed. The team radioed with the Dutch to stop the change and stop the engine.
12:17 pm
Times have fallen
The fastest time of the first test session of last year was 1: 29.106 minutes. This year, Valtteri Bottas has already set a time of 1: 27.487 minutes. But there is still 1.2 seconds before the record. Lewis Hamilton signed the best lap in qualifying last year with 1 '26,600s.
12:02 pm
Grosjean creates a virtual safety car
After a fierce race in the first corner, Romain Grosjean took his Haas apart and caused a virtual safety car.
Grosjean visited the gravel bed again at Silverstone
11:50
Alonso still has no time
Fernando Alonso has already completed six laps, but has not yet taken the weather. The Spaniard is now probably doing the aerodynamic work that the team can not perform in the wind tunnel.
