Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton was almost knocked out of Q1 during the British Grand Prix. Hamilton didn't end up doing a final lap to close out the session, and drivers below him were improving sector by sector. In the end, he finished in P14 after Q1, just sneaking through and avoiding a disastrous result.

Lewis Hamilton insists his Ferrari team are “making progress” despite missing out on pole position at the British Grand Prix. Hamilton, who was in the running for pole in his first Silverstone weekend as a Ferrari driver, made an error in the final corner of his final lap in qualifying and ultimately finished fifth-fastest.

However, a mistake in the final complex cost the Brit time and meant he was unable to improve on his initial Q3 run. It left the nine-time British GP winner more than two tenths away from Max Verstappen, who delivered a stunning lap to steal pole position away from McLaren’s Oscar Piastri.
