Lewis Hamilton was denied the opportunity to set the fastest time in FP3 at Silverstone when a red flag brought an early end to the F1 session.

Charles Leclerc topped the timesheets in FP3, and his Ferrari team-mate looked set to topple this time on his flying lap, before a red flag was deployed with eight minutes left in the session.

A loose bit of endplate flew off Ollie Bearman's Haas and was left stranded on the track at Stowe, which was promptly cleared by the marshals.

However, it wasn't long before a second red flag was thrown after Gabriel Bortoleto crashed his Sauber and beached into the gravel, where he had damaged his front suspension by hitting the kerb.

Bearman also suffered a late crash and collided with the barriers, completely destroying his front wing and being noted for a red flag infringement.

Initially, the start of FP3 was delayed by five minutes, after the marshals were spotted sweeping away excessive tyre marbles that had collected on the track from a procession of historic F1 cars prior to the session.

FP3 offered a tantalising insight into how competitive qualifying could be however, with both Ferraris, Mercedes' and Max Verstappen all in the mix towards the top of the timesheets with McLaren.
