The Dutchman clocked a best lap in one minute and 27.422 seconds to beat Hamilton’s Mercedes by 0.474 seconds. Hulkenberg, drafted in overnight by the Silverstone-based Racing Point outfit, was only six-tenths off Stroll’s time, a very solid showing for a man who, 24 hours earlier, had no idea that he would be back in F1.
Hulkenberg was the centre of attention as he made his first F1 appearance since the end of last season, but it was young Briton Lando Norris who topped the early times for McLaren ahead of Verstappen’s Red Bull who soon cut his time to take top spot.
