It is a race which could prove pivotal in the grand scheme of the drivers’ championship.
Home hero Lando Norris, who now has a stand at Silverstone named after him, came into the weekend sitting second in the standings, 15 points shy of his teammate Oscar Piastri.
A win for Norris could see him usurp the Australian and move back onto the top rung, but both were pipped to pole by Max Verstappen.
“It was a really good day,” he said. “Great to see the crowd, amazing to be out on track in a Ferrari here at Silverstone.
“The Red Bull and McLaren have an upgrade, so for us to be in the mix still given they have had a step today is really positive.
“Definitely feel we can dream of having a strong weekend but putting it all together and extracting it is another thing.”
