- Ferrari driver earns first pole position of career at Silverstone
- Verstappen second, Leclerc third, Perez fourth, Hamilton fifth
Carlos Sainz claimed the first pole of his career at the British Grand Prix with a superb lap at Silverstone in extremely tricky wet conditions. The Ferrari driver beat Red Bull’s Max Verstappen into second with his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc in third. Sergio Pérez was fourth for Red Bull.
Mercedes’ hoped for resurgence is still to quite manifest itself, with their car certainly improved but still six-tenths back from pole, Lewis Hamilton in fifth and his teammate George Russell in eighth.
