Formula 1: Max Verstappen’s Masterclass Clinches Pole At British GP Qualifying

British Grand Prix: Max Verstappen delivered a masterclass at Silverstone, clinching pole position for the 2025 British Grand Prix with a sensational lap of 1:24.892. The Red Bull ace left no room for error as he edged out McLaren’s Oscar Piastri by just 0.103 seconds in a nail-biting Q3 shootout.

Piastri had looked set for his first pole of the season after topping the early Q3 timesheets, but a costly mistake on his final lap left the door open. Verstappen seized the opportunity with trademark precision, putting together a flawless final run to grab the top spot.

Lando Norris will line up third in the other McLaren, unable to improve on his initial time. Behind them, George Russell will start fourth for Mercedes, narrowly ahead of Lewis Hamilton, who had briefly challenged the front-runners during the early phases of Q3.
