Summary
Silverstone hosts Formula 1's ninth round from July 3-5, with Saturday's 17-lap sprint starting at 12:00 BST and Sunday's 52-lap grand prix at 15:00.
The weekend is the season's fourth sprint event and Silverstone's first since 2021, with sprint qualifying on Friday setting the grid and points awarded to the top eight finishers.
Kimi Antonelli arrives leading the drivers' championship, while George Russell moved back to second after winning in Austria and now trails the Italian by 40 points.
A mostly dry, warm forecast of 25C to 26C should greet fans at Silverstone, which drew a record 500,000 spectators across last year's four-day weekend.
