SILVERSTONE, England — Lando Norris nearly delighted the British Grand Prix crowd with pole position. 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. The British crowd roared in celebration when Norris briefly took over the top spot late in the qualifying session, before Verstappen went yet faster to take it back by .241 seconds. 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. Seven-time champion Hamilton, who has won the British GP a record eight times, survived a dramatic spin into the gravel early in qualifying to carry on.
