Red Bull’s Max Verstappen claimed pole position for the British Grand Prix after qualifying at Silverstone on Saturday. McLaren’s championship leader Oscar Piastri will start alongside the Dutchman on the front row for Sunday’s race, while Piastri’s teammate Lando Norris will start on the second row of the grid with the Mercedes of George Russell for company.
Piastri took provisional pole until Verstappen produced a perfect final flying lap (1:24.892 secs) to front the grid by only a tenth of a second from the Australian. “It was tricky out there with the wind, these cars are extremely sensitive to it. This is a proper track, when you have to go flat out you have to be super committed. We are quite quick on the straight, we have to wait and see what tomorrow will do, but I am happy. I’m excited to go racing tomorrow,” Verstappen, a four-time world champion, said.
