Fernando Alonso is treating sprint qualifying as the first stint of the British Grand Prix before an overnight break.
As part of an experimental race weekend, traditional qualifying moved to Friday at Silverstone, with sprint qualifying then taking place on Saturday to determine the grid for the British Grand Prix.
Alonso has set himself up nicely for the 100km-race after securing P11 for the start, though qualifying was not as clean as he was hoping for.
“It was tricky, it was windy out there and I think we had a little bit more pace in the car, but the traffic was not an easy thing to live with today,” he told reporters.
