It's a maiden F1 pole for Carlossainz55 after beating Max33Verstappen in a wet qualifying for the BritishGP ⬇️
Verstappen had led the way through Q1 and Q2 and appeared to be on course to complete a clean sweep as he also topped the times ahead of the final runs in the third segment.
Leclerc wound up third as he spun through Chapel heading onto the Hanger Straight on his final Q3 lap, after he had looked to be Verstappen’s closest challenger for pole before Sainz surprised everyone – including himself, as he asked his engineer “how did I do P1?!” after crossing the line – to take the top spot.
Nicholas Latifi was delighted to make it through to Q3 for the first time in 2022, but he did not set a representative time in the final segment and so finished 10th and last of the shootout runners.Q2 began with the rain falling harder again after it had stopped by the end of Q1, which put a premium on fast, early banker efforts.
