F1 race stream and updates with Max Verstappen pole at rainy Silverstone - McLaren title rivals Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris with plenty of work to do amid wet weather conditions

Max Verstappen snatched pole position in a thrilling qiualifying session for the British Grand Prix. Will the reigning world champion have the race pace to hang with the McLarens?

Lando Norris has had a problematic season so far but is doing well to be just 15 points behind team-mate Oscar Piastri, who has had an excellent year by all accounts. Probably, given the advantage McLaren have over the course of the year, we can probably discount Max Verstappen from contention, unless something extraordinary happens.
