Pole position returned to the Spanish driver in Formula 1 after nearly 10 years. Before Carlos Sainz’s fastest lap This Saturday, 2nd, only one other Spaniard conquered the Silverstone track: Fernando Alonso. In addition to the historic portrait, the UK GP promises excitement with two Ferraris and Red Bulls on the front two rows, and the possibility of even rain during the race.
Although rain affected qualifying, neither driver had any accidents and no red flags were required on Saturday. The most “exciting” moment was when Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen completed his fastest lap 360º, but without harming his Red Bull.
This Sunday, scheduled for 11am Brasilia time, the focus is on the start of the 3rd, with Carlos Sainz leaving the top spot. The Spaniard’s performance at Ferrari has had a number of sticking points, but a good opening performance in this race could help his team-mate Charles Leclerc reclaim the drivers’ championship.
