At his 150th Formula 1 appearance, Ferrari driver Sainz is allowed to start from position one. In the rainy qualification, the Spaniard surprisingly duped world champion Max Verstappen, who is considered an expert in adverse weather. “I didn’t think that the lap was anything special,” said Sainz after his drive to pole position. Now the 27-year-old is also hoping for his first victory in Formula 1. Most recently in Canada he rushed Verstappen on the final laps, but had to settle for second place.
Lewis Hamilton has won eight times in the “Home of British Motor Racing” – that’s a record. In view of the strength of the Ferrari and Red Bulls, the Mercedes superstar would have to surpass himself again to extend this record. Thanks to the improved Silver Arrow, the 37-year-old had expected a little more than fifth place on the grid. “I’ll try to pull something special out of the hat,” Hamilton promised. Teammate George Russell starts eighth. McLaren driver Lando Norris is also up front in sixth place.
