Max Verstappen Claims Fifth Consecutive Pole in British Grand Prix Qualifying

Action-Packed Saturday at Silverstone

Seven Poles for Verstappen in 2023

Red Bull's Max Verstappen continued his dominant form in qualifying, capturing his fifth consecutive pole position of the 2023 season at the FORMULA 1 ARAMCO BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2023. Verstappen's blistering lap time at Silverstone propelled him to the front of the grid, extending his impressive tally of pole positions to seven.

However, a post-qualifying incident saw Valtteri Bottas disqualified after his car failed to provide the required 10-liter fuel sample. This unfortunate development promoted former Mercedes driver George Russell to second place, giving the Silver Arrows a 1-2 finish in qualifying.

The British Grand Prix weekend kicked off with a wet final practice session, where home favorites George Russell, Lewis Hamilton, and Lando Norris dominated the top positions. Russell, in particular, showcased impressive pace in the damp conditions, emerging as a potential challenger to Verstappen in qualifying.
