The pitlane is open and the drivers are on their way to the grid. Thirty minutes until lights out for the 17-lap sprint.
Lewis Hamilton grabbed pole for the sprint race in front of an adoring Silverstone home crowd, beating championship leader Kimi Antonelli by 0.011s. So they will form the front row of the first sprint race at the British venue since the first ever sprint back in 2021 - which feels like a lifetime ago.
Here's the full grid:
