Andrea Kimi Antonelli topped F1 qualifying at Silverstone to secure pole position for the British Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver backed up his Sprint win earlier in the day with another clean lap when it mattered most. The Formula 1 2026 weekend at Silverstone is in full flow, and the home of British motorsport has delivered a lively Sprint-to-qualifying double.
Pole secured in sunny Q1–Q3 running
Qualifying ran in classic three-part format and finished with Antonelli on top. The track stayed Dry throughout with sunny skies, air at 25°C and track temperature at 40°C, a friendly window for grip. Humidity sat at 48 percent, so cooling and tire prep were consistent across the runs. Antonelli nailed the final segment to lock in P1 for Sunday’s race at the Great Britain GP.
Sprint set the tone, Hamilton starred earlier
Before qualifying, the Sprint went Mercedes’ way with Antonelli taking the flag over 17 laps. Earlier still, Lewis Hamilton showed pace of his own, winning Sprint Qualifying and leading Practice 1 for Ferrari. It was a neat power shift across the day, with Hamilton sharp over short distances and Antonelli delivering when points and pole were on the line.
A stop‑start build-up at Silverstone
Practice 2 and Practice 3 were both canceled, which put extra weight on every timed session that did go ahead. That made Sprint and qualifying even more valuable for setup validation and track evolution reads. Silverstone’s listed lap record sits at 1:31.607, and with rubber down in the afternoon, conditions rewarded commitment through Maggotts and Becketts.
What Sunday looks like
The British Grand Prix is scheduled for 52 laps around the 5.891 km circuit, totaling 306.198 km. With Antonelli on pole, Mercedes holds the prime launch spot for Round 9 of the season. Expect strategy to favor clean air and tire management in the fast middle sector. You can follow live data, lap charts and race pace swings on Sofascore throughout the Grand Prix.
