F1 grid today: Starting positions for British Grand Prix
A compelling F1 season continues on Sunday with the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, as Carlos Sainz starts on pole ahead of Championship leader Max Verstappen.
Sainz recorded the fastest lap amid wet conditions on Saturday afternoon for the first pole position of his Formula 1 career, with world champion Verstappen alongside him on the front row and the other Ferrari driver, Charles Leclerc, in third.
Sergio Perez completes the Ferrari-Red Bull front two rows, while eight-time winner Lewis Hamilton - who has only been on the podium twice so far this season - will see what he can do from fifth.
His Mercedes team-mate George Russell starts back in eighth, with Fernando Alonso ahead of him in seventh and McLaren’s Lando Norris in sixth.
Verstappen - who crashed in the first lap of last year’s race - currently has a 46-point lead in the Championship from team-mate Sergio Perez, having won five of the last six races.
