Which driver is on pole for the British GP? Silverstone starting grid
It was an interesting day in England as home supporters had plenty to enjoy with their local stars positioning themselves very nicely.
George Russell took pole in the British GP held at the Silverstone circuit. The British driver led a trio of local drivers, with Hamilton and Norris trailing, after snatching the top position from his teammate at the last moment.
In doing so, Russell will also lead a Mercedes one-two at the front, following Brackley’s step forward on a Saturday that had it all. From rain in Q1 to dry tyres at the end, it was a complex qualifying session where a driving error relegated Verstappen to 4th place.
Meanwhile, strategy affected Sainz (7th) and Fernando Alonso (10th). On the bright side, Aston Martin made a return with both cars to Q3.
