Q3: Hamilton, pole
Lewis hamilton He managed to get rid of the thorn of not having added any pole (the Friday of Silverstone does not count as such) by surpassing with solvency not only Valtteri Bottas, which was counted on, but to a Max verstappen that he ended up disappointed.
With a stand that booed him noticeably at the end, the seven-time champion put more than 4 tenths to the Dutchman, who did not quite square a perfect lap.
It was the best qualifying this year for Alpine, as Esteban Ocon set the 8th time, followed by Fernando Alonso, 9th.
