Max Verstappen and Red Bull’s vice-like grip on Formula One has been loosened in recent months – but a standout title rival has yet to fully emerge. After Mercedes victories for George Russell in Austria and Lewis Hamilton at Silverstone, today it is McLaren leading the fight against the empire, with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri locking out the front row of the grid ahead of the frustrated champion.

Saturday saw McLaren’s first qualifying one-two since 2012, but it’s no big surprise. The resurgent team have had the fastest car since Norris won in Miami; the problem has been converting that advantage into Sunday success. They have another chance to do so today but Verstappen – who has won the last two races here from second and 10th on the grid – will be eager to crush the rebellion.
