Celebrities descended on Silverstone today, with Keanu Reeves and Gordon Ramsey among the stars to watch Lewis Hamilton qualify in fifth for tomorrow’s British Grand Prix.
Keanu was trying to keep a low profile in a battered old red cap against a smart black suit over a casual black vee-neck t-shirt to saunter to the Formula 1 VIP area where he watched Carlos Sainz take the first pole position of his career at a rain-soaked Silverstone.
The Matrix star, 57, sported his now-trademark shaggy beard and scraggily long hair increasingly inflected with dashes of grey as the Ferrari man held his nerve in tricky conditions to pip Red Bull’s Max Verstappen by 0.072sec to start the British Grand Prix from the front.
F1-mad Gordon Ramsay, donning aviator sunglasses, was also present at Silverstone, fresh from his jaunt to Saudi Arabia to watch the Formula 1 in Riyadh.

Lewis Hamilton was fifth fastest on his home track, a place behind Sergio Perez of Red Bull, while Brits Lando Norris and George Russell were sixth and eighth for McLaren and Mercedes respectively.
A chaotic qualifying run saw the Ferrari man bag the special honour of leading the field on a rain-drenched Silverstone, beating Red Bull’s Max Verstappen by 0.072sec to start from the front.
However, speaking after qualifying Sainz said he thought his winning lap being the best of the day was surprising as he wasn’t hugely impressed with it himself.

‘It was a good lap, but I was struggling a lot with the standing water on the intermediate, there was a lot more standing water, even on the racing line, and it was very easy to get snaps and lose the lap,’ Sainz said.
‘It was also more difficult to get temperature into this intermediate for this condition.
Sainz now fancies his chances at recording his maiden F1 victory on Sunday, with the Ferraris pace a key factor in their success this season.
