2026 Formula 1 British Grand Prix – Saturday's schedule at Silverstone

The ninth round of the 2026 F1 season, the British Grand Prix, takes place from July 3rd to 5th, alongside the F2 and F3 series of the F1 Academy. Find the full schedule for this Saturday.

This Saturday, the pilots of Formula 1 will return to the Silverstone circuit for a doubly decisive day: the sprint race in the early afternoon, followed by qualifying for the British Grand Prix in the evening. All this against the backdrop of a surprise pole position for Lewis Hamilton, who edged out championship leader Kimi Antonelli by just 11 thousandths of a second in Friday night's sprint qualifying.

Once the sprint is over, the teams will move directly to qualifying for Sunday's main race. A different exercise, a single flying lap on soft tires, which could reshuffle the deck after Friday's session where the pecking order was not yet fully established.

This Saturday, the Formula 2 and the Formula 3 They too will continue their weekend, with the respective sprint races of both categories on the program. Gabriele Minì, leader of the F2 championship, will have the opportunity to extend his lead, while F3 will also be in action before the F1 sprint. The F1 Academy will contest its first race of the weekend – qualifying for the category took place on Friday without being broadcast.
