New Zealand’s Liam Lawson will start 15th on the grid at the British Grand Prix after tyre temperature issues prevented him from advancing past Q1, despite having shown strong pace earlier in the weekend.
The Racing Bulls driver expressed frustration over the missed opportunity, citing the drop in track temperature as the key issue.
Meanwhile, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen secured pole position with a perfectly timed final lap, edging out championship leader Oscar Piastri, who starts second, and his McLaren teammate Lando Norris in third. Mercedes’ George Russell and Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton rounded out the top five in a tightly packed qualifying session at a blustery Silverstone.
