No driver has won the British Grand Prix on more occasions than Hamilton, with the 38-year-old winning seven of the last 10 races staged here. The same can't be said for team-mate Sergio Perez, who endured a nightmare qualifying to go out after Q1 and will start 16th on the grid.

Verstappen had a minor issue of his own, crashing his Red Bull into the pit lane during Q1 and causing some damage to the front wing, though it barely knocked the Dutchman off his stride. But it was Norris who emerged as the fastest Brit on his home track. Hamilton was second after Q2 following a problematic first qualifying period. After a dismal start to the season for the team, their upgrades over the last two weeks seems to have brought them right into the scrap for second place behind Red Bull.įerrari pair Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz qualified fourth and fifth, while Lewis Hamilton could only manage a seventh place finish, one place behind Mercedes team-mate George Russell in sixth. But there was no doubt that Norris was the hero of the hour.Īnd it was double delight for McLaren who also had Oscar Piastri qualify in the top three. The Red Bull racer is a worthy pole-sitter with an impressive final flying lap to put himself in prime position for a sixth-straight Formula 1 victory. Silverstone roared when Lando Norris shot to the top of the timesheets in the final seconds of British Grand Prix qualifying – and groaned a few seconds later when Max Verstappen spoiled his party.
