As Max Verstappen secured a stunning pole at Silverstone, the Formula 1 world reacted with awe, admiration, and a hint of frustration from British fans.

“That was an epic lap under pressure,” said Martin Brundle on Sky F1. “To hold off two fired-up McLarens on their home turf—that’s why he’s the benchmark.”

“We're in a great place to fight. The car felt amazing.”
