In the F1 Sprint Race, polesitter Hamilton held off Antonelli into Turn 1 at Abbey while Norris surged from sixth to third. Conversely, it was a poor start for Verstappen and Leclerc who dropped back through the pack.

Norris continued his charge at Antonelli’s expense into Copse on Lap 1, but Antonelli responded immediately, retaking second into Stowe. 

At the end of Lap 1, George Russell made spectacular back-to-back overtakes around the outside of both McLarens. 

On Lap 2, Norris got back past Russell, and Verstappen followed him through, past Russell into Abbey the following tour.

Antonelli then began closing on Hamilton into Lap 6. Two laps later, he was the closest he’d been and lunged to the outside of Brooklands in an attempt to seize the lead, but he couldn’t make the move stick. 

Later that lap, Antonelli made his move down the Hangar Straight and powered into the lead. 

Verstappen fell back through the pack in the second half of the race, first losing out to Russell and then to Leclerc in short order. 

Kimi Antonelli claimed his first-ever Sprint victory ahead of Hamilton, with Norris completing the podium ahead of Russell and Leclerc. 

The British Grand Prix weekend continues with Qualifying later today before Sunday's Formula 1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

FIA Formula 3 Sprint Race recap

FIA Formula 3 championship leader Ugo Ugochukwu was on pole for the reverse-grid Sprint Race, and he got away well to lead through Abbey. 

Sri Lankan racer Yevan David put him under pressure into Brooklands on the first tour, but Ugochukwu held him off in the early stages.

Then, on Lap 8, James Wharton went around the outside of third-placed Alessandro Giusti at Brooklands, giving him the inside line and eventually the position at Luffield. 

Noah Strømsted then took the position back from Wharton with a spectacular move around the outside of Maggotts to take third place for his own. 

Contact between Strømsted and De Palo at the end of Lap 12 gave David some much-needed breathing room, but they were back on him again in the closing laps, with a queue of eight cars all vying for second place. 

David pushed Strømsted wide at Luffield and De Palo took back third place, but Théophile Nael was also on a charge. He deftly sliced underneath De Palo at the final corner to secure third in the final moments of the race. 

At the fag, Ugochukwu won with a 17-second gap, followed by a historic first Sri Lankan F3 podium for David, with Nael completing the podium. British hopeful Freddie Slater, meanwhile, climbed from 12th on the grid to seventh in the final order.
