Lewis Hamilton is harbouring hopes of a strong weekend for Ferrari at the British Grand Prix, after impressing in practice.
Hamilton matched his best result of the season with a fourth-place finish at the Austrian Grand Prix last week.
His Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc finished third at the Red Bull Ring, meaning the duo head to Silverstone in positive form.
Hamilton was fastest in the first practice session on Friday, before being third-fastest in the second, and the nine-time British Grand Prix winner is feeling confident.
"I definitely feel like we can dream of having a strong weekend, for sure," Hamilton said.
"Executing and putting it all together and extracting it is another thing. I'll prepare as best I can to make sure we get the best result.
"I think tomorrow there is rain potentially coming and also on Sunday as well, we just have to try our hardest to make sure we are ready for that.
"I'm progressing a lot now with the car. Much more comfortable knowing where it needs to be. I think by P2 we still weren't where we needed to be, but we know the changes that we need to make for the next session.
"It was a really good day. Great to see the crowd, amazing to be out on track here in a Ferrari at Silverstone.
"It's been pretty incredible, and also with Red Bull and McLaren having an upgrade and for us to still be in the mix, given that they've had a step today, it's really positive."
Hamilton snapped a 31-month winless run with victory at Silverstone in 2024. The 40-year-old has won more races at the track than any other driver in Formula One history.
However, Hamilton has failed to finish on the podium in each of his last 13 races, his worst such streak.
