Hamilton delights home crowd ahead of historic F1 weekend

Associated Press  

SILVERSTONE, England — Lewis Hamilton and George Russell thrilled their home crowd Friday night as the British drivers dazzled in Formula One’s first attempt at a new sprint qualifying format. Hamilton was fastest at Silverstone in a qualifying session that set the grid for F1′s historic debut of a sprint race to determine the starting lineup of the British Grand Prix. “It feels like such a long time since we’ve been able to get anywhere near, so this is incredibly special and obviously to do it on your home turf there’s no greater feeling,” Hamilton said. I’m quite confident still.” F1 is calling its tryout of this qualifying format “The Sprint” and it started Friday night with the three rounds and teams mandated to use soft tires.
