Max Verstappen threw his crack sheet and stayed with the pole in Silverstone
The Dutch showed all his talent to overcome the powerful McLaren and will leave in Punta in the GP of Great Britain, 12th F1 date. Oscar Piastri will complete the first row.
How you won’t want Toto Wolff take Max Verstappen to Mercedes! How do not do everything possible Red Bull to content it and get the contract until 2028 not to be terminated before! The tetracampeon is absolutely at another level. After leaving Austria GP in the first round, for the error of Kimi Antonelli, For any mortal was worldwide. Because Spielberg left 61 points of the leader, Oscar Piastri, a big difference, but that is further agigated because his Red Bull is far from the McLaren in performance. No one talked about Max as a candidate to achieve his fifth consecutive crown, the headlines that had their name in Silverstone only pointed to their possible move to the silver arrows. But Verstappen is at another conductive level and on the track he completed an unforgettable task in the GP GP classification to keep a memorable pole position.
The champion did not have a good time with his RB21 on Friday. His radio complaints were almost constant, because he could not take it along the track. So and everything was fifth at the end of the day, but almost half a second from Lando Norris. The Dutch had to continue responding to Mercedes, his contract, clauses, exit … But Verstappen had a plan: keep fighting with his Red Bullthat car that no one but he can handle. Czech Pérez already suffered in the second part of the 2024 World Cup and the lack of results led the Popes to cut a contract that the Mexican did not even release. That Liam Lawson suffered, when he was degraded to Racing Bulls after two dates. That Yuki Tsunoda does not know how to take him to fight since they put him in the most uncomfortable position of the F1: Verstappen’s partner. Max leaves everyone on the floor and in Silverstone he did it again.
It seemed that pole would be a battle between the McLaren and Lewis Hamilton. The heptacampeon brings out those things that are beyond the natural every time it runs in Silverstone. Ferrari’s pilot is angry on the English track. But little by little they managed. Norris, a classic. After shining in Monaco, he was wrong in Spain and Canada. He had a remarkable performance in Austria and in the qualy of Great Britain, at the most important moment, stepped off and flew with his MCL39. Goodbye of the fight for pole and to leave third. The stone piastri also failed in the last curve, the same in which Colapint was wrong, and did not improve his time. The Australian, to second place. Then Hamilton arrived and pified in the last sector. Go just to fifth place. Who was not wrong? He succeeded: Max.
Verstappen closed a huge final turn, despite not having improved its own last partial, and stayed with its 44th pole in F1 with 1m24s892 to get 103 thousandths to PIASTRI. Norris and George Russell (good qualy) They will complete the second row. This Sunday, in the race, anything can happen. The rhythm of McLaren is strong and we will have to see what Max can do with his RB21, which was strong in line and not so much in the fast curves (evidently is downloaded). If it was a mortal, logic would be to bet strongly on Pastri or Norris. But it is not a simple mortal, it is Max Verstappen.
