🚨 Qualifying will resume at 16:33 local time #F1 #BritishGP https://t.co/tT8ZZwOA01

What happened: Qualifying for the British Grand Prix was set to resume at 16:33 local time after a stoppage ahead of Q2. The delay came after Franco Colapinto went off at Becketts late in Q1, and marshals swept the circuit before cars returned to the track.

Why it matters: The interruption compressed an already tense session at Silverstone, where Q1 ended with Isack Hadjar topping the timesheets and George Russell recovering to advance to Q2. Every remaining minute of running now carries extra weight in the fight to set Sunday's grid.

What to watch: Q2 and Q3 will settle the starting order for Sunday's British Grand Prix, with the fight for pole resuming as soon as the session goes green.
