Max Verstappen outpaced both McLarens and the resurgent Ferraris to claim a spectacular pole position for Red Bull with a last-gasp lap in Saturday's tense qualifying session for the British Grand Prix.

The four-time world champion delivered a best lap in one minute and 24.892 seconds to outpace championship leader Oscar Piastri of McLaren by 0.103 seconds with Lando Norris third in the second McLaren.
Mercedes' George Russell was fourth, ahead of the Ferraris of seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc.
Kimi Antonelli was seventh in the second Mercedes, but faces a three-place grid penalty on Sunday following last week's Austrian Grand Prix.
Ollie Bearman, who faces a 10-place grid penalty, was eighth for Haas ahead of two-time champion Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin and Alpine's Pierre Gasly.
It was Verstappen's third pole at Silverstone, where he has won twice before, and the 44th of his career.
