So, 12 minutes of SQ1, 10 minutes of SQ2 and then eight minutes for SQ3 to decide the top 10 order for the sprint race. There won't be time to breathe.
While we wait for sprint qualifying to get going, why not cast your vote in our new monthly awards.
There are six categories in total for June: F1 driver, MotoGP rider, NASCAR driver, IndyCar driver and Sportscar driver, plus moment of the month.
There's also a trio of special liveries on show for the British GP.
Starting with McLaren, which is a tribute to Bruce McLaren's 1966 Monaco GP look:

Then there is a USA-celebrating look at Cadillac as the States celebrates its 250th birthday tomorrow:

Then there is Williams which has a special home livery... we promise. You just need to squint:

In the break between the track sessions, there's been some spicy comments from Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur hitting back at a few other team bosses for their comments about the Scuderia's upgrades - both in volume and in scope - which we'll bring you shortly.
Having said that, the upgrades are relatively restrained at Silverstone across the grid after a much larger delivery landed in Austria seven days ago.
On the face of it, the pecking order is relatively unchanged as a result, but can Ferrari keep up the fight to Mercedes at Silverstone? Or can Red Bull or McLaren show a smart turn of pace in quali?
