Max Verstappen was quickest in practice for the British Grand Prix on Saturday ahead of the historic debut of the eagerly anticipated sprint qualifying race.
Ferrari duo Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz were just behind Verstappen with Lewis Hamilton only eighth fastest, just ahead of Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas.
The grid was already set for Formula One's first-ever sprint race later Saturday and no improvements or tweaks could be made to any of the cars. The sprint race is designed to bring more entertainment to the race weekend. It will be over 100 kilometers -- or 17 laps at Silverstone -- and the top three finishers will also receive points toward the championship as well as top the grid for Sunday's main race. First place will receive three points, second place two points, and third place one point.
