  • Carlos Sainz set the second fastest time of the day in the first day of practice for the British GP, where he finished just 22 thousandths of a second away from the fastest.
  • The Ferrari race driver focused on the Soft and Medium compounds as Pirelli’s new tyre construction made its debut in Silverstone.
  • In Free Practice 2, the Spaniard centralized the work of the Scuderia as the team found an electric issue in the other car that prevented it from running.

QUOTES:
“It was a challenging Friday here in Silverstone. FP1 was quite tricky because of the wind and the track conditions but we completed a good programme and I think this helped us make good progress in FP2".

"We need to keep working on tyre management and race pace. This should be our main point of focus going into tomorrow, as today we could see that over one lap we were not too bad".

"Overall, we are quite happy with today but of course there’s still some work to do".
