Max Verstappen delivered a statement performance at Silverstone, storming to pole position in a dominant display that left the home crowd stunned. The Dutchman was flawless in qualifying, putting his Red Bull well ahead of the competition as he eyes another British Grand Prix victory.
Meanwhile, it was a crushing blow for Lewis Hamilton, who will start Sunday’s race from P5. Despite showing strong pace in earlier sessions, the seven-time world champion struggled in the final run, unable to match the flying laps from Verstappen, Norris, and the Ferraris.
Hamilton appeared visibly disappointed after stepping out of the car, with hopes of a Silverstone front-row start dashed in the final minutes. “We just didn’t hook it up when it mattered,” he admitted post-qualifying.
Verstappen, on the other hand, was jubilant with his pole and praised the team’s setup. “The car felt incredible today,” he said. “We knew it would be close, but this is the kind of performance we needed.”
With Verstappen starting up front and Hamilton left to battle from the third row, Sunday’s race promises high drama and potential fireworks at every turn.
