Lando Norris was very close to securing the pole position at the British Grand Prix. However, there was 1 problem: the unstoppable Max Verstappen.

“It’s always Verstappen. He always ruins the other racers’ dreams,” Norris joked after Max topped his time for his 5th pole position in a row.
The British GP crowd was ecstatic when Lando took for very little the 1st place in the qualification before the Dutch climbed back at the top by .241 seconds.
It was the normal result lately in Formula 1 – Red Bull drivers have taken the 1st starting position in 9 of the 10 races since the beginning of the campaign.
