The Silverstone circuit was the first where a Formula 1 World Championship race was held, and today it has become the track where Carlos Sainz won his first pole position in the category.
The rain and the water accumulated on the asphalt did not slow down the Ferrari driver, who stepped on the accelerator pedal until the end on the legendary British circuit and surpassed the world leader, Max Verstappen, by seven hundredths.
The tricky track conditions caused uncertainty right to the end, as bugs were more unpredictable than ever and it was unclear who would win the day in a session that would only confirm its winner at the end of it.
However, the Spanish driver managed to beat the rain and his rivals and made a perfect lap that settled him in the first position on the grid for Sunday’s race.
