Ricciardo tops wet and cold free Silverstone practice session
F1 Grand Prix, GP Great-Britain, Silverstone Circuit
During a wet and cold first free practice session of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, Toro Rosso driver Daniel Ricciardo, surprisingly, clocked the fastest lap time. The youngster was followed by Nico Hulkenberg and Pastor Maldonado.
Most of the top drivers remained in the garage during the first session due to the tricky weather. Hopefully for the British fans they will make an appearence during the second session this afternoon.
