F1 LIVE: Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull penalized by stewards at British Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton has been reprimanded by the F1 stewards for showing up late to the drivers' press conference on Thursday. The Mercedes star will therefore check that his clocks are working correctly for the rest of the weekend to avoid any serious penalties.

The same can be said of Sergio Perez, who clinched Red Bull with an £85 fine for driving 80.2mph in the pit lane - which has a strict speed limit of 80 km/h. The initial penalty is highly unlikely to push Red Bull over the budget cap (well...you never know), but Perez will want to make sure he doesn't break it again.

Qualifying for the British Grand Prix is ​​set to start at 15:00 BST with Max Verstappen set to claim pole position after dominating practice. Mercedes was dismal on Friday, with George Russell sitting P12 and Hamilton P15 after FP2.

"It's a tough car to drive. No matter what we do to tune it, it continues to be a tough car to drive," Hamilton said. "On a single lap I didn't feel any improvement between the tyres, which shows that something was wrong. We're missing something. The long term didn't seem to be too bad, so that's at least one positive point.

"It wasn't particularly nice [on the soft tyres]. The last part of my run was smoother for some reason. It could be due to wind, balance or the fact that I was getting used to the balance. This trail It's about trying to weigh the balance along the way and making compromises here and there. It's such a good edge of the balance. It's a good fight."
