The classification of British Grand Prix It was again chaos, as usual, with changing weather conditions, but in the end it was always dry.
And despite the conditions, the dominator and author of pole position was the same as always: max verstappen. The Dutchman continues to compete in a world apart from the rest, regardless of the conditions, the circuit… and he took his fifth consecutive pole. Top favorite for victory.

If Verstappen has a streak of five consecutive pole positions, the Mexican has a streak of five eliminations before reaching Q3. And if Red Bull I was already questioning him before this, now more. And with Daniel Ricciardo watching everything on the wall.

The Germans suffered throughout the weekend, Mick Schumacher found something in the simulator that helped, but they seem to be behind their rivals. And for Hamilton, this result is a wake up call for the team.
It was worse for Aston Martin. Lance Stroll stayed in Q2 and Fernando Alonso could only be ninth. The Spaniard is calm about the car’s performance, aware that race pace continues to be the car’s strong point, but qualifying at Silverstone showed that in speed they have been a step behind the rest of their rivals.
