I thought it was about normal. There are usually a few off as they learn the tyre / track conditions / upgrades.
Today, there were quite a number of back-end slides as they powered out of a bend. Maybe they very hot track (for the UK), tyre selection, shifting wind was catching them out.

Kvyat gets 5 place grid penalty
AlphaTauri's Dany Kvyat will receive a five-spot grid penalty for Sunday's British Grand Prix as a result of a gearbox change on his car. AlphaTauri diagnosed an issue with Kvyat's gearbox after the Hungarian Grand Prix, the Russian using a 'Friday' gearbox in yesterday's opening day of running but taking on a new transmission ahead of Saturday's practice. Pierre Gasly who retired in Hungary with a gearbox failure will also receive a new element, but because the Frenchman did not finish the race at the Hungaroring, he will incur no penalty for the change.
Gasly concluded Friday P8 in FP2 but Kvyat's efforts were disrupted by the untimely crash of Alex Albon and the red flag period that followed. "I think it was a productive day, even if the red flag compromised my session a bit when I was on my new tyre run," said the Russian. "I had to abort my lap and go again with the used tyres, so that was a bit unfortunate. Other than that, I think we worked on a good number of things and I was also quite pleased with the balance of the car today, so we have to analyse everything tonight and see what we can do to improve more tomorrow."
On the other side of the AlphaTauri garage, Gasly sought overnight improvements to boost his performance. "It feels great to be back in Silverstone, which I think is one of the best tracks of the season and overall it was a good start to the weekend for us with many laps and tests completed," he said. "However, I still don’t feel like I got the car exactly where I want it to be, so I’m confident that if we manage to make the right improvements overnight there’s a bit more performance to come for tomorrow."

He‘s looking more comfy for sure. It always amazes me how fast these top drivers get up to speed with a new car. The Red Bulls seem to have the edge on Racing Point for this circuit anyhow, so I’m expecting a same podium positions as last race. Roll on quali!

When the world came apart, where were you?
I'm not paying much attention to F1 so far this year, so forgive what might be a stupid question, but what on earth is going on with Sebastian Vettel??
First practice, last.
Second practice, 18th.
Third practice 14th.
By way of contrast, Leclerc was 5th, 4th & 6th.

he is leaving the Scuderia next year so is on bit of a down slope
and also Ferrari got caught cheating last year so the car is now a piece of poo about 68 Hp down
from last year and paying quite a price for it
