Silverstone roared when Lando Norris shot to the top of the timesheets in the final seconds of British Grand Prix qualifying – and groaned a few seconds later when Max Verstappen spoiled his party.
The Red Bull racer is a worthy pole-sitter with an impressive final flying lap to put himself in prime position for a sixth-straight Formula 1 victory. But there was no doubt that Norris was the hero of the hour.
And it was double delight for McLaren who also had Oscar Piastri qualify in the top three. After a dismal start to the season for the team, their upgrades over the last two weeks seems to have brought them right into the scrap for second place behind Red Bull.
