From a six-way fight for the win, to a track that often provides thrilling wheel-to-wheel battles, plus Oliver Bearman on the charge to the potential for rain to impact the start of the race, here are a few things to look out for during Sunday’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone...

1. Verstappen’s fight with the McLarens

Qualifying was a thriller on Saturday afternoon, and it came down to the very final lap as Max Verstappen finished on top in what proved to be a battle between six different drivers.

Both McLarens were very much in the frame, but Verstappen was able to pip Oscar Piastri and secure his first pole position since Miami with an extremely impressive final attempt. Piastri starts from second and Lando Norris from third – just 0.118s adrift of Verstappen’s time himself.
