Lewis Hamilton put in a strong showing in first practice for the British Grand Prix as he finished fastest for Ferrari.

New-look liveries, softer Pirelli tyres, and brand new drivers took to the track for the opening practice session at the British Grand Prix, as Arvid Lindblad made his Formula 1 debut, hopping into the RB21 in place of Yuki Tsunoda, and Paul Aron was in action for Sauber having been loaned out for two FP1 sessions by Alpine.

British GP is shaping up to be one of the season’s most eagerly anticipated weekends, as home heroes prepare for battle and the championship begins to tighten at the halfway mark.
