Red Bull driver Max Verstappen made it five pole positions in a row, and seven for the 2023 season so far, during Saturday’s action-packed, wet to dry qualifying session at the Silverstone Circuit, beating McLaren pair Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri to the top spot.
Verstappen overcame the changeable conditions – and a moment in the pit lane that saw him damage his front wing – to emerge with the landmark pole, finishing two-tenths clear of fired-up home favourite Norris and a further tenth up on Piastri.
