British Grand Prix qualifying live stream and TV channel: How to watch fight for pole for Sunday's F1 race

After three rounds of exciting wheel-to-wheel action in Austria and Hungary, the Formula One calendar moves on to the British Grand Prix, the first race in a double-header at Silverstone.

Lewis Hamilton arrives at his home grand prix in scintillating form, winning the last two races at the Styrian Grand Prix and Hungarian Grand Prix a fortnight ago.

The six-time world champion is aiming to clinch his seventh race win at the famous circuit but Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas has proved to be a worthy challenger to Hamilton thus far.

F1 shrugged off its first Covid-19 scare after Racing Point driver Sergio Perez was forced to withdraw from the race weekend following a positive test for coronavirus, with Nico Hulkenberg deputising.

Despite Mercedes' dominance so far in 2020, it was Red Bull's Max Verstappen who topped the timing charts in the first free practice session on Friday. But will the Dutchman be able to challenge Hamilton and Bottas for pole position come Saturday at Silverstone?
