After finally delivering a solid weekend so far—perhaps his first since joining Ferrari, excluding the sprint race in China—Lewis Hamilton is hoping to celebrate his first pole position in red. And what better place to do it than in front of his home crowd at Silverstone?

The feat seemed almost impossible given the results so far, but from FP1 onwards the British driver showed strong qualifying pace, helped by an SF-25 that finally looks quick after the floor upgrades introduced in Austria last weekend.
Beating such a fast McLaren, which excels through Silverstone’s long sweeping corners, won’t be easy—especially with Lando Norris looking sharp in front of his home crowd after his victory just a week ago.
Adding to all this is the wild card, Max Verstappen, who struggled significantly yesterday—but never count him out come qualifying.
The anticipation is intense to see who will claim the twelfth pole position of the season, with the final outcome likely to bring more surprises than expected. All that’s left is to wait for the green light of Q1 at 15:00 CET to find out who will come out on top. Make sure you follow qualifying LIVE with us!
