British GP qualifying: Max Verstappen takes stunning pole ahead of Oscar Piastri

SILVERSTONE — Max Verstappen snatched pole position at the British Grand Prix from the two McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris with a remarkable lap at the end of Saturday’s qualifying session.

The reigning champion beat Piastri’s McLaren to the fastest time by 0.109 seconds, with the second McLaren of Norris third fastest and 0.118 seconds off the Red Bull.
