That was the team’s best Saturday result at Silverstone before this weekend, when Lando Norris shone and went one better in his metal-effect machine.
He was met by cheers from the grandstands as he crossed the line to complete a final flying lap in Q3. Norris shot to provisional pole courtesy of a 1m29.861s effort.
While he was knocked off top spot in the dying moments by Max Verstappen – who extracted another 0.241s – a third-placed return for Oscar Piastri proved that this was no fluke result from the McLaren camp.
