LEWIS HAMILTON raised hopes of another Silverstone victory as he set a commanding pace in the sole practice session ahead of sprint qualifying at the British Grand Prix.

Hamilton, who is chasing a record-extending 10th Silverstone success to build on his first win for Ferrari in Spain last month, was 0.213 seconds quicker than championship leader Kimi Antonelli.

The Italian’s title lead was cut to 40 points last weekend as Mercedes team-mate George Russell clinched an impressive victory in Austria.
