Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli wins pole position for Sunday’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone after topping qualifying, with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton finishing immediately behind him on the grid. Multiple outlets report that Antonelli holds off a late challenge from the Ferrari threat and Hamilton, while George Russell qualifies in fourth. The results place Leclerc second and Hamilton third, following Antonelli’s fastest qualifying lap. One report also notes Antonelli’s lap time during qualifying. Coverage links Antonelli’s performance to momentum from earlier in the weekend, with several sources stating he also wins the sprint earlier on Saturday and then converts that advantage into pole. Outside the front four, the Guardian reports that McLaren’s Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri qualify in sixth and eighth respectively, with Max Verstappen in seventh. The Independent and Yahoo Sports similarly describe Antonelli as the top qualifier heading into the 52-lap race.
