Formula 1 returns to Silverstone for the highly anticipated 2026 British Grand Prix Sprint weekend, live on Sky. Following his crucial victory in Austria, George Russell aims to close the gap to Kimi Antonelli, now just 40 points behind in the Drivers' Championship, while seeking his first win on home turf.

Lewis Hamilton, a nine-time winner at this iconic circuit, looks to rekindle his title hopes after a disappointing outing for Ferrari last week. Lando Norris, the previous year’s champion at Silverstone, faces stiff competition, while fellow Brits Oliver Bearman of Haas and Arvid Lindblad from Racing Bulls strive for points.

As the championship leader, Antonelli remains the favorite, despite not winning the last two races. This Sprint weekend marks Silverstone's first since 2021, featuring competitive action starting Friday, with a traditional build-up show on Thursday evening.
