On the final runs in Q3 the track was dry after rain early in the session and for the opening hot laps Verstappen opened strongly but was swiftly eclipsed by Norris and Piastri who were both on a charge on the slick tyres. Their lead was short-lived however as Russell found even more in the final sector, topping the timesheets with 1 minute 26.024 second time, in a British top three, in front of Norris and Hamilton, with only a tenth between them and Norris just six-thousandths off.
The session had opened in damp conditions, with rain having hit the circuit repeatedly through the morning. However, as the track dried sufficiently for slick tyres, it was red-flagged when Sergio Pérez, whose place atis under serious threat, did himself no favours going off at Copse, which ended his session and he will start from 19th.
As the track once more dried during Q2, the times began falling as the grip improved and the sun began to shine for the first time in the day.
