Max Verstappen will try to turn pole position into a race win at the British Grand Prix this afternoon after silencing home fans by seeing off McLaren duo Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris in qualifying at Silverstone.

British Grand Prix LIVE!The eyes of the F1 world will fall on Silverstone this afternoon for the latest edition of the iconic British Grand Prix. One of the most famous races on the calendar rarely fails to disappoint and the early torrential rain in Northamptonshire could cause plenty of problems for teams and drivers who will all be considering their strategies very carefully.

The sight of Lewis Hamilton, his tires kicking up a tail of spray as he sped through the rain toward victory at the British Grand Prix in 2008, stayed with the 8-year-old Norris, who was watching on TV. On Sunday, Norris got his own win in a thrilling wet British GP — also involving Hamilton — in front of the British crowd.
