When is silverstone grand prix 2017

Universal Conquest Wiki. Lewis Hamilton. Valtteri Bottas. Daniel Ricciardo. Red Bull Racing. Max Verstappen. Sebastian Vettel. Scuderia Ferrari. Sahara Force India F1 Team. Esteban Ocon. Felipe Massa. Williams Martini Racing. Lance Stroll. Fernando Alonso. McLaren Honda. Stoffel Vandoorne. In 10 races this year, Force India has now had eight double-points finishes. Massa scraped into the points for Williams. Felipe Massa: qualified 15th, finished 10th. Lance Stroll: qualified 16th, finished 16th.

Just the one point for Williams at its home Grand Prix, with both cars running a counter tyre strategy to the norm after starting outside the top 10, but only Massa making it work as he snared the final point on offer by beating McLaren's Vandoorne to the line. After the aerodynamic updates Williams brought to the previous race in Austria left it struggling on the penultimate row of the grid in qualifying, the team split strategies for its two cars at Silverstone, Massa and Stroll each running a mix of old and new parts — but not in the same configuration — as the team scrambled to acquire data.

Massa had been inside the top 10 in all three practice sessions, so was very disappointed to only qualify 15th, while Stroll, with precious little F1 experience in wet conditions, struggled in qualifying and fared little better in the race, labouring with aero problems to the flag. Vandoorne just missed his first points of Fernando Alonso: qualified 13th, did not finish.

Stoffel Vandoorne: qualified 9th, finished 11th. Alonso gave McLaren a rare reason to smile when he fitted dry-weather tyres on a track damp with rain right at the death of Q1 and executed a white-knuckle lap that had him in P1. That was as good as it got for the Spaniard; Alonso changed multiple engine components in his McLaren on Friday and was hit with 30 grid places worth of penalties, meaning he was condemned to starting from the back of the grid.

He latched onto Ricciardo's tail and came through the pack, though not to the same extent, early on before retiring with a loss of power on lap Vandoorne beat Alonso in qualifying for the first time this season and made the top 10 for the first time to start a career-best eighth after Bottas' gearbox penalty, but couldn't capitalise on his best chance of scoring a first point for the season when he finished just behind Massa in what was his most competitive showing of the year to date.

Toro Rosso. Daniil Kvyat: qualified 12th, finished 15th. Carlos Sainz: qualified 14th, did not finish. To put it mildly, the first 60 seconds at Silverstone didn't go well for Toro Rosso, with Kvyat and Sainz banging wheels entering the super-fast Maggots-Becketts sequence on the opening lap, Kvyat spearing off the track, and then coming back onto it and clattering into Sainz, ending the Spaniard's race.

Kvyat was hit with a drive-through penalty, and toured around with a damaged floor to finish 15th. Magnussen's long first stint didn't pay off. As revealed by Autosport last week , the revision has been prompted by a desire to ease congestion in the British GP schedule. Silverstone has now confirmed that gates will open at 2pm on Thursday, with the F1 Fan Zone up and running as well as track action in the form of Formula 2 and GP3 practice sessions.

Those who have already bought weekend tickets will get access on Thursday too, but this will not include entry to a Travis music concert in the evening.

It has been a tricky past few races for Sergio Perez. The Red Bull driver has mustered just 16 points since the British Grand Prix in July and the team's constructors' championship chances have taken a hit. Yet the Mexican remains optimistic that he has all the tools he needs to turn his performances around.

But he came into the weekend with a streak of recent crashes hanging over him. Ben Fisher. Sun 16 Jul Right, so, a great afternoon for Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes.
