F1 championship leader Max Verstappen takes another pole position at Silverstone, but the McLaren team comes up big with hometown hero Lando Norris and Australia's Oscar Piastri to start second and third at the British Grand Prix.
"It's always Max. He always ruins everything for everyone," Norris joked after the Dutch driver beat his time for his fifth pole position in a row on Saturday.
Despite missing out on what would have been McLaren's first pole position since 2021, Norris and Piastri were full of praise for the team's much-improved car after a poor start to the season. The result may be routine in Formula One — Red Bull has taken pole in nine out of 10 races — but it followed a session of tension, another failure for Verstappen's teammate Sergio Pérez, and a moment of jeopardy for the Dutch driver himself.
