Formula 1 heads into Sunday at Silverstone with Kimi Antonelli on pole after a commanding Saturday at the British GP.
The Mercedes championship leader passed Lewis Hamilton to win the sprint, then followed it by taking his fifth grand prix pole of the season. Charles Leclerc starts alongside him on the front row, with Hamilton third and George Russell fourth after fading in the final part of qualifying.
Sunday’s race gives Antonelli a chance to extend his title lead, while Ferrari has both cars near the front and three British drivers — Hamilton, Russell and Lando Norris — chasing a home result at the sharp end of the grid. Here is everything you need to know ahead of the British GP.

British GP Sunday weather forecast
Sunday is expected to be warm and cloudy at Silverstone for the British grand prix.
Temperatures should be around 26C when the race begins, rising slightly later in the afternoon. That should make tyre life and race pace important, especially through Silverstone’s fast corners and long loaded sections.
Wind and changing cloud cover can still make the track tricky, but the main weather factor for the race is more likely to be warm conditions than precipitation.
