Bottas Disqualified, Verstappen Takes Pole Again
Bottas' Inability to Provide Fuel Sample Results in Disqualification
Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas has been disqualified from the Formula 1 British Grand Prix qualifying session after his car was unable to provide the required 10-liter fuel sample. This development comes as a major setback for the Finnish driver, who had qualified fifth.
Verstappen Reign Continues with Fifth Consecutive Pole
Meanwhile, Red Bull's Max Verstappen continued his dominance in qualifying, securing his fifth pole position in a row and seventh for the 2023 season. The Dutchman set a blistering lap time of 1:40.432, nearly three-tenths of a second faster than Ferrari's Carlos Sainz Jr.
Verstappen's performance underscores his exceptional form this season, where he has taken four victories and extended his lead in the Drivers' Championship.
The British Grand Prix will take place on Sunday, July 3, at the Silverstone Circuit. With Bottas' disqualification and Verstappen's commanding performance, the race is poised to be an exciting and unpredictable affair.
