Carlos Sainz claims his maiden F1 pole as Max Verstappen cops some treatment from the British GP crowd a year on from the crash with Lewis Hamilton that sparked their feud.
The improved conditions could favour the two Red Bulls after Verstappen set the fastest lap time of anyone this weekend in the final practice session before the rain began to fall on Silverstone.
As Verstappen spoke trackside following qualifying, the boos were audible for the Dutchman and he could barely hear the questions being asked during his interview."I think we are better than that. I would say we don't need to do booing, but we have got such great fans and our sporting fans, they feel emotions, ups and downs, but I definitely don't agree with booing," Hamilton said.
The incident further heightened their often-bitter rivalry in a title race ultimately won by Verstappen and turned some British fans against Verstappen. "I think the driest lap I found, I went off. So there was a dry line there, I just caught some of the wet and lost the lap.
