Lewis Hamilton: Poor British GP qualifying result a ‘wake-up call’ for Mercedes

Lewis Hamilton said his “disappointing” result in qualifying for the British Grand Prix must serve as a “wake-up call” for Mercedes.

Hamilton will start his home race in front of a 150,000 sell-out crowd at Silverstone only in seventh place, with team-mate George Russell one spot better off on the grid.

As Max Verstappen, perhaps predictably, raced to his fifth consecutive pole position, McLaren stung a surprise with Lando Norris and team-mate Oscar Piastri second and third respectively in their upgraded machines.

Progress overnight, but still missing a few tenths that could have made a difference when it mattered today. Let’s see what we can do on Sunday when the points are scored.We'll need all of your support tomorrow, Team.
