McLaren Duo Fail to Snatch British GP Pole Position from Verstappen

McLaren Duo Fail to Snatch British GP Pole Position from Verstappen

Max Verstappen secured his dominance with British GP pole position — edging out McLaren duo Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris by a narrow margin at Silverstone.

Piastri, who will start from second position — just 0.015 seconds apart from his teammate Norris — provided interesting insight about different cars’ performance:

“The surprising thing is how each car generates their lap time: the speed traces look completely different, but they end up at basically the same point at the end of the lap”

British driver Norris, who will start from third position, acknowledged team limitations:

“We weren’t quick enough as a team… but P3 is nothing to be disappointed about”

Weather factors and car setup are predicted to play crucial roles in tomorrow’s race. Red Bull opted for low downforce setup — providing straight-line speed advantage but potentially slower in high-speed corners.
