Max Verstappen surprised everyone by claiming pole position at the British Grand Prix after a brilliant final lap, outpacing the McLaren drivers.
Despite Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton being expected to challenge, it was Verstappen who secured the top spot with a lap time of 1m24.892s.
Championship leader Oscar Piastri will start alongside Verstappen on the front row, while home favorite Lando Norris could only manage third place.
The second row will be an all-British affair with George Russell in fourth for Mercedes.
Hamilton ended up in fifth place after a difficult final sector, while his Ferrari rival Charles Leclerc will start from sixth.
Despite penalties for some drivers, Fernando Alonso and Pierre Gasly secured good grid positions for the race.
Unfortunately, there were disappointments for drivers like Carlos Sainz, Alex Albon, and Yuki Tsunoda who didn’t make it into the top spots.
