There's going to be tons of cracking battles in the field - if it's for the win or for P12, it doesn't matter. Just enjoy F1 for what it is, rather than what it isn't.
While we wait for the race to get cracking, let's address some tweets complaining about Mercedes dominance. Ultimately, it's up to the other teams to do a better job, and that's not happening.
Crash
Hulkenberg's out before it begins. Power unit problems for the returnee.
Anyway, back to the small matter of a grand prix. Hulkenberg's still stranded in the pits, so his return might be put on ice if there's not a Verstappen-esque miracle.
The NHS support fly-by now takes effect, although one might cynically suggest a better show of support would be actual funding...
A more cohesive stand from F1 and drivers on the ongoing fight against racism and inequality.
Contact, contact in the pitlane! Lawrence Stroll and Sebastian Vettel touch elbows, but the two escape without either driver put out of joint.
It's a Hamilton/Bottas front row, which I think you'll all agree is somewhat unexpected, with Verstappen and Leclerc occupying row 2.
Hulkenberg's out of the car at the moment, as there's been problems firing up his Racing Point RP20 - so it's been a difficult return.
Information
That's a pitlane start confirmed for Hulkenberg, then.
From the telecommunications device of Luke Smith, here's Racing Point's crew making said retreat.
Information
Now, here's interesting news - Hulkenberg's crew has packed up off the grid and retreated to the pits, so this could be a pitlane start.
Back in the old, olden times, Silverstone used to be home to the Thomas A Becket Chapel, before it then became an airfield ahead of World War 2. It's a venue that's gone from prayer to air.
In just over half an hour, the lights will go out and we'll be away for the first of two F1 races in the UK. We're excited, naturally.
*taps microphone* Are we on? Yep? Perfect...hello, ladies and gents, and thanks for joining our Autosport Live feed ahead of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone!
