Max Verstappen felt he was "hindered" during the final part of British Grand Prix qualifying as Carlos Sainz snatched pole position from his grasp.
He was one of the favourites to star Sunday's race from the front, alongside the likes of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton. But it was Sainz who set the fastest time, securing his maiden Formula 1 pole while Verstappen had to ease off on his final lap after a yellow flag caused by Leclerc's spin.
And while giving his initial reaction to the result, moments after getting out of his car, he was the target of large sections of the Silverstone crowd who showered him with a chorus of boos. The defending world champion had a wry smile on his face as he was interviewed by former racing starlet Billy Monger on the track.
