Antonelli takes pole position for British Grand Prix
Championship leader Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes will start Sunday's British Grand Prix from pole position after again dominating qualifying on Saturday.
The 19-year-old Italian, who won the sprint earlier in the day, secured his fifth pole from nine races this season by outpacing Ferrari's Charles Leclerc who will start alongside him on the front row.
His quickest lap of 1 minute 28.111 seconds was 0.175sec faster than Leclerc.
The other Ferrari, driven by home favourite Lewis Hamilton, locked out third and will start alongside his old Mercedes teammate George Russell, who won the last race in Austria and is 43 points behind Antonelli.
Red Bull's junior driver Isack Hadjar was fifth, outperforming his senior partner Max Verstappen. The four-time world champion had to settle for seventh, one place behind the 2025 champion Lando Norris in his McLaren.
Oscar Piastri, in the second McLaren, was eighth with the Racing Bulls of Arvid Lindblad and Liam Lawson closing out the top 10.
