British GP: Hamilton tops practice 1

Lewis Hamilton delivered a heroes performance in the first free practice session at Silverstone to top the speed charts in practice 1 ahead of the Ferraris of Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa's.

Clearly on the limit, Hamilton looked typically ragged throughout. Twice he went off-track, spinning at Abbey and then running onto the grass at Priory, before finally setting a 1m21.100s lap, which was good enough to go ahead of the red cars.
