George Russell takes pole position at British Grand Prix

George Russell won a pole position in qualifying for the British Grand Prix, with the Mercedes team locking out the front row after Lewis Hamilton claimed second place.

Lando Norris followed in third for McLaren to complete an all-British top three, while Max Verstappen will start only fourth in the Red Bull.

Speaking post-qualifying, Russell said: “What a feeling, what a feeling! At the start of this year we couldn’t have even dreamt of being on pole here.

“A one-two for Lewis and I, Lando in P3… It’s just mega. It’s down to all these fans as well, they give us so much energy, so thank you so much for that.”
