Max Verstappen has praised McLaren’s recent progress in Formula 1, considering their performance at the British Grand Prix to be “quite impressive.” However, Verstappen believes he will maintain his lead and expects a tough challenge from McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
During qualifying, Norris topped Q1, with Piastri securing second place in Q2 behind Verstappen. The final run in Q3 saw Norris briefly take provisional pole position, but Verstappen managed to snatch it away from him in the closing moments, securing pole by a margin of 0.1 seconds, with Piastri in third place.
