Max Verstappen secured pole position for the British Grand Prix, setting the fastest time during Saturday’s qualifying session at Silverstone. The reigning World Champion will lead the race on Sunday, ahead of McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, who secured second and third place respectively.

The remainder of the top ten saw a varied grid, with Mercedes’ George Russell in fourth, followed by Lewis Hamilton. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc placed sixth, ahead of Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli in seventh. Oliver Bearman of Haas secured eighth, with Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso in ninth and Alpine’s Pierre Gasly rounding out the top ten.

German driver Nico Hülkenberg, driving for Alfa Romeo, experienced a challenging qualifying session, mirroring his performance at last week’s Austrian Grand Prix. He will start the race from 19th place, the penultimate spot on the grid.
