Starting Grid and TV Schedule for the 2026 British F1 Grand Prix

Meet us at Silverstone this Sunday, July 5th at 4:00 PM for the ninth round of the 2026 F1 season.

F1 continues its road during the 2026 season and Kimi Antonelli continues to impress. Already the winner of the Sprint race a few hours earlier, the young Mercedes driver secured pole position for the British Grand Prix. At just 19 years old, the Italian claims his fifth pole of the season and confirms his status as the new king of the world championship.

However, Ferrari seems to have found its form again. Charles Leclerc will share the front row with Antonelli after a solid qualifying session, while Lewis Hamilton, who is particularly anticipated in front of his Silverstone crowd, will start from the third position. The Briton, who secured pole for the Sprint race on Friday but lost to his young Italian rival during the short race, hopes to achieve a historic tenth victory at home.

George Russell completes a second row that is 100% Mercedes-Ferrari despite a major scare in Q1, when a wheel lock sent him off the track. Nevertheless, the Brit managed to save his qualification and remains a serious contender for victory.

Behind the four favorites, Isack Hadjar confirms the excellent form of Red Bull by securing a stunning fifth place on the grid. He leads Lando Norris, who has a tough task ahead to deliver a victory for McLaren in front of his fans. Max Verstappen will have to settle for seventh position, just ahead of Oscar Piastri, while the Racing Bulls of Arvid Lindblad and Liam Lawson complete the Top 10.

Gabriel Bortoleto will start eleventh in front of Pierre Gasly. Nico Hülkenberg and Oliver Bearman will occupy the seventh row, while Carlos Sainz and Alexander Albon form an eighth row that is 100% Williams. Further back, Esteban Ocon, Valtteri Bottas, Franco Colapinto, Sergio Pérez, Lance Stroll, and Fernando Alonso were all eliminated in Q1, marking another disappointment for Aston Martin in front of its home crowd.
