2024 F1 British Grand Prix – Start time, how to watch, channel & more

The fall out from the crash that ended Norris’ race last weekend, and saw Verstappen limp his Red Bull Racing him in fifth, has not yet fully played out.

Friends off the track, their scrap in Austria was aggressive to say the least, with neither willing to give an inch.

While on the surface it was a battle for the lead of the race, underneath is an undercurrent of the rising challenge McLaren poses to Red Bull Racing.

For the first time since 2021, or arguably the first half of 2022, Verstappen has a championship rival.

The battle in the latter stages at the Red Bull Ring was therefore as much about setting expectations as it was about that race itself, and it sets up an enthralling second half of the season.

That starts in Silverstone this weekend, where McLaren much be considered alongside Red Bull Racing as a genuine contender for victory – not an outside chance, or if the race falls their way, a bone fide contender.

It is advantage Verstappen, of course, as he holds a sizeable points advantage, but Austria showed he’s feeling the pressure. So too is Red Bull, which made a number of uncharacteristic errors in the race itself.

Behind them, Mercedes has made clear progress. Upgrades in Monaco have seen it demonstrate improved pace in the four races since, culminating with George Russell being in a position to capitalise when those ahead of him banged into one another last weekend.

Exactly how fast Mercedes will be in Silverstone remains to be seen, with a similar reservation hanging over Ferrari in what has been an inconsistent run of races.

Though the Scuderia is second in the constructors’ championship, it hasn’t always had the second fastest car.

Further back, there were positive signs from RB after a disastrous Spanish GP. It got a handle on its upgrade package last weekend and that should see it a contender for a Qualifying 3 berth.

Haas too must be considered in that conversation too as the American-registered operation banked an impressive 12 points.

And what of Aston Martin, a team that last year promised so much and looked to be on the precipice of great things, but has fallen deep into the midfield?

Up and down the field, there’s plenty to keep an eye on over the British GP weekend – including Jack Doohan driving for Alpine in Free Practice 1.
