    The gaps come and go now depending on how drivers deploy their battery. Lewis Hamilton is actually weaving now down the Wellington straight, trying to the break the tow to Kimi Antonelli.

    Kimi Antonelli is fighting to overtake Lewis Hamilton, those two are having a lovely little battle up front.

    He tries to overtake Hamilton into Village but Hamilton manages to defend it.

  3. Andrew Benson
    BBC F1 correspondent at Silverstone

    We are expecting to see lots of overtaking because of the energy management situation. If you boost past someone on one straight, you don't have the energy on the next.

  4. Lap 7/17

    Silverstone does not disappoint and it is only just the sprint race!

    The Williams of Alex Albon has jumped up from last spot to 18th. The Williams have a lovely British Grand Prix livery this weekend.

    A reminder this is a sprint to the finish - there are no mandatory pit stops in this one.

    Lewis Hamilton has the view of a speedy Kimi Antonelli in his rearview mirror. The young Mercedes driver is just seven tenths of a second behind the sprint race leader.

    Lando Norris is defending the last podium spot from Max Verstappen.

  7. Damon Hill
    1996 world champion on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra at Silverstone

    Amazing recovery from Max Verstappen, who lost a lot of places at the start. He is fighting back but the question is, has he used up too much of his battery in certain parts of the race? He has attacked brilliantly. The 'yo-yo racing' effect is there, defintely.

    Silverstone NEVER disappoints. Hands down the best track on the calendar, a driver’s race-track.

    Norris is managing to hold on for now. George Russell has been overtaken by the other McLaren of Oscar Piastri for fifth.

  11. Damon Hill
    1996 world champion on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra at Silverstone

    Fantastic start by Lewis Hamilton! They both got off the line pretty well and Hamilton had to defend from Kimi Antonelli, but Antonelli has to think, 'I'm leading the world championship'.

    Hamilton has already peeled away and Antonelli is under pressure from Lando Norris.

  12. Lap 2/17

    Kimi Antonelli is not a fan of that and quickly takes back his second spot.

    Max Verstappen has dropped back a few places and is fighting his way back up.

    There was a brief yellow flag as someone ran off wide but no issue, back to racing we go.

  13. Go! Go! Go!

    Lap 1/17

    Are we ready? Let's go! The grandstands are absolutely packed.

    Our first Silverstone. Up at 05:30am, got a great spot overlooking Brooklands and Luffield and the weather is changing every five minutes. Hoping for an all British podium.

    Barcelona wasn't a one-off for Lewis Hamilton - he's coming back and putting it on pole position at Silverstone in a spectacular way.

    We all thought Ferrari were going to struggle here and this whole thing about deploying your battery and charging your battery and how you use it, we thought Mercedes were going to be the benchmark. Maybe Max [Verstappen] and Red Bull have found something but the fact is, Lewis and Ferrari know what they are doing.

  18. Williams' Alex Albon will be starting the sprint race from the pit lane after some last minute changes to his car.
