This is home. For the second leg of the double-header, we made our way to the legendary Silverstone Circuit, right on the doorstop of the AMR Technology Campus. Get the thoughts of Lance and Fernando following their first laps out on track.
Round 12 of the 2025 Formula One World Championship got underway in front of our passionate home fans, with our drivers setting a combined 94 laps after running all three tyre compounds across Friday’s Practice sessions.
Friday round-up and reaction.
-
Our team began Free Practice One by running a new floor and top bodywork on Fernando’s AMR25. Lance continued with the previous specification to compare data between the two cars.
-
Lance and Fernando began the weekend’s first session on the Hard tyre. Midway through, both drivers switched to Softs before returning to the Hard compound for their final stints.
-
After analysing information collected from the AMR25 updates, our team applied the updates to Lance’s car ahead of FP2.
-
Both drivers running the new package, they started FP2 on the Medium tyre and switched to Softs at the halfway point. When 10 minutes remained, our duo got back out on track on the Mediums.
-
When the chequered flag fell on Friday’s running, Lance and Fernando classified P7 and P12 after gathering data over 48 laps in FP2.
#18 | Lance Stroll | Free Practice
“Silverstone is a great track and I always love coming back here. It’s a special race for the team, as we’re just steps away from the factory. The support we get here every year and the energy around the weekend are special.
“I’ve got some good laps in today during FP2 and the car felt decent, but it’s early days so we’ll go through the data. We’ll see what we can work on tonight and come back tomorrow.”
#14 | Fernando Alonso | Free Practice
“It’s difficult to read where we are after today’s Practice. In FP1 it didn’t look too different between the two packages, but let’s see if we learnt something more from FP2 as we tried some different things with the set-up.
“It was a very typical Friday around Silverstone with how windy it was. There are a lot of things to analyse, but it was a clean day and let’s see what we can do tomorrow.”
