Max Verstappen has pole position for the British Grand Prix but the reigning Formula 1 champion will have title rivals Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris close behind in Sunday’s race.

Qualifying is in progress at Silverstone for the 2025 Formula One British Grand Prix. Lando Norris closed the gap on his McLaren teammate in the drivers’ championship standings with a supreme win in Austria last weekend. The Brit also topped the free practice timings yesterday, leading FP2 with a 1:25.816.

Max Verstappen pulled out one of the best qualifying laps of his career to bag pole position at the final point of qualifying after changing to a less draggy setup. This will have helped his pace over a single lap but less downforce will hinder his ability in the race and make racing in rainy conditions very challenging.
