News summary

Alex Dunne, the 19-year-old Irish driver from Offaly, secured a provisional second-place finish in the Formula 2 Feature Race at Silverstone, demonstrating significant improvement after a retirement in the Sprint Race. Dunne, driving for Rodin Motorsport, put pressure on race winner Jak Crawford, briefly leading during a Virtual Safety Car period, though Crawford's win remains under review for a potential penalty. This result boosted Dunne to third in the championship standings, closing the gap to leader Richard Verschoor to 14 points, while Crawford narrowed his own deficit to Verschoor to six points. Dunne had also impressed recently with a strong Formula 1 practice debut for McLaren at the Austrian Grand Prix, marking a milestone for Irish motorsport. Meanwhile, the Formula 1 grid for the British Grand Prix saw some penalties and changes, with Franco Colapinto starting from the pit lane after a power unit change and drivers Oliver Bearman and Kimi Antonelli receiving grid penalties. The Formula 2 qualifying saw Dunne start second on the grid, just behind Victor Martins, setting the stage for his strong Feature Race performance.
