Verstappen Takes Pole at British Grand Prix

News summary

Max Verstappen secured pole position for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, overcoming earlier handling issues and gusty winds to set the fastest lap. Verstappen narrowly beat McLaren's Oscar Piastri by 0.103 seconds, with Lando Norris third, George Russell fourth, and Lewis Hamilton fifth for Mercedes. Both McLaren drivers made mistakes on their final runs, losing a potential chance at pole. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc qualified sixth, while rookie Oliver Bearman will start 18th after receiving a 10-place grid penalty for a red flag infringement. Verstappen’s pole, his first since Miami, boosts Red Bull as he aims to close a 61-point gap to Piastri in the championship. The race is expected to be highly competitive among Red Bull, McLaren, and Ferrari.
