Mercedes is on the hunt for more points this weekend to extend its lead over Red Bull Racing.

F1 british gp 2020 practice 1 Max Verstappen leads. The German team has little to fear from competitors, but cannot collapse or standstill. The smoke from Racing Point and McLaren looms behind Red Bull .

Max Verstappen has ended the practice 1 session from the British Grand Prix 2020 weekend on top of the timesheets, setting a 1:27.422.

The session took place in abnormally warm conditions for the Silverstone Circuit, which saw some drivers struggle on the soft compound tyre.

Sebastian Vettel failed to set a lap time during the session as an intercooler problem ruled him out early on, forcing him to watch on from the sidelines.

The practice 1 F1 Gp 2020 session also saw the return of Nico Hulkenberg, who replaces Sergio Perez for the weekend after the latter tested positive for COVID-19.

Lewis Hamilton was second fastest, almost half a second down on Verstappen, while Lance Stroll, who finished fourth last time out in Hungary, was third for Racing Point.
