What the data tells us about Max Verstappen, Ferrari and McLaren's chances in the British GP
Just a day after Max Verstappen complained about an "unbelievable" amount of understeer in the Red Bull RB21, he suddenly secured pole position for the Formula 1 British Grand Prix. According to Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko, the new floor has improved the car's performance, though the Austrian mainly credited what he called "the Max factor". While the McLaren drivers left some time on the table at the end of Q3, Lewis Hamilton admitted to a mistake in Vale, and Charles Leclerc cursed himself seven times in a row over the team radio, Verstappen delivered when it mattered most. Advertisement Comparing Verstappen and Piastri's qualifying benchmarks Another key element is undoubtedly the car's set-up, which Red Bull overhauled after a difficult Friday, opting for very low downforce. That brings potential downsides – difficulties in the lower-speed corners and possibly some more instability in high-speed curves – but Verstappen handled it impressively well in qualifying. The upside? Higher top speed, as clearly shown in the GPS data. In the below comparison, Verstappen's fastest Q3 lap is compared with Piastri's quickest run in Q3 – his first one. The track map on the left shows all the straights highlighted in blue – Red Bull territory. Verstappen hit 313km/h at the end of the main straight, 4km/h faster than Piastri. This helped him carry more speed into the sweeping Turns 1 and 2, though McLaren's higher-downforce set-up showed its strength in medium- and low-speed corners. Piastri had better speed through The Loop, for instance. After Verstappen extended the gap again on the Wellington Straight, the pattern repeated in Brooklands and Luffield. Piastri maintained higher minimum speeds and stronger traction out of these corners, thanks to the McLaren's set-up choice. Approaching Copse, Verstappen again topped out at 320km/h versus Piastri's 316km/h. That advantage grew in the high-speed section from Copse through Maggotts and Becketts, where Verstappen consistently had an 8km/h edge – significant enough to extend his lead to almost three tenths by that point. Advertisement In the final sector, however, Verstappen lost time, particularly in Vale and Club and on the exits of those turns. These are traction zones where McLaren is stronger, but not enough to claim pole. With the low-downforce set-up and above all a very well-executed lap, Verstappen held on by 0.103s to claim another impressive pole position, his fourth of the season.

Advertisement Verstappen was far from happy with the RB21's balance on Friday, complaining about understeer. Yet Helmut Marko concluded the long runs looked 'surprisingly good' for Red Bull, a statement that is backed by data. According to PACETEQ's analysis, Verstappen showed the fastest average over the long runs on Friday. However, there's a key caveat, visible in the second graphic below, relating to tyre wear. Both McLaren drivers showed significantly less degradation than Verstappen and Ferrari, suggesting two different approaches to the long runs. Examining lap-by-lap data, it becomes clear that Verstappen and Ferrari started aggressively, while McLaren opted for a different approach: slower early on, seemingly led by a delta time, but more consistent over the entire run. These are two long-run strategies teams can use. The Verstappen/Ferrari approach helps gather tyre wear data by pushing hard early on, to get a clear picture of the maximum wear and use those findings on Sunday. McLaren's approach was more consistent and more representative for a longer stint. Importantly, all of Friday's long runs were shorter than actual race stints, meaning McLaren's lower degradation is not fully reflected in the numbers below. Advertisement Over a full stint, McLaren may therefore well have the edge over Verstappen based on the lower degradation per lap, but Red Bull and Ferrari probably wouldn't start stints as aggressively on Sunday. Plus, Verstappen's set-up and car balance are very different now compared to Friday. With this in mind, one thing is clear: Red Bull absolutely does not want rain in Silverstone, given its minimal downforce levels. The Ferrari drivers, on the other hand, run much more downforce and could benefit from changing weather conditions. The same degradation pattern plays out in the midfield. Lance Stroll looks competitive in the graphics below, but deeper analysis shows he had the highest tyre degradation per lap of anyone in the field. The Canadian started strong but fell off a cliff later on, suggesting he might be less competitive on Sunday than the long-run table implies. Fernando Alonso's more stable long-run pace and better starting position (P7) paint a more realistic picture for Aston Martin. Finally, Oliver Bearman displayed encouraging long-run performance on Friday, but the Haas driver will start from P18 due to his red-flag infringement, when he crashed while entering the pitlane. Advertisement The young British driver's 10-place grid penalty (plus four penalty points on his superlicence) is a significant setback, as both his qualifying performance and race pace were very promising. He now has a mountain to climb on Sunday.

Transfer news, rumors: Gyokeres to Arsenal; Kudus to Chelsea, Spurs
The transfer news from around the Premier League is showing no signs of slowing down with the big boys spending plenty to strengthen their squads. Below is a look at the latest transfer news from across the Premier League, with some huge deals developing. Advertisement Viktor Gyokeres to Arsenal is in the works According to a report from Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are in talks to sign Sporting Lisbon and Sweden striker Viktor Gyokeres. Per the report Gyokeres, 27, will not return for preseason with Sporting and Arsenal have held new talks to sign him. Romano adds: "Arsenal are now getting closer to signing Gyokeres... Arsenal are now advancing. Nothing done yet but discussions underway." Okay, so, this is getting closer and Arsenal look like they're going to have a summer transfer window for the ages. Having already signed Kepa and Martin Zubimendi, they are also going to add Christian Norgaard in midfield to add depth. The Gunners have been linked with moves for Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke too and if they can get all of these moves over the line they will be right up there with the favorites to win the Premier League and Champions League this season. As for Gyokeres specifically, it feels like he's the final piece of the jigsaw. This feels very much like Manchester City adding Erling Haaland. Arsenal create so many chances each game but have lacked that clinical finisher who makes the difference in big moments. Gyokeres is that finisher. He can hold the ball up and link up play well but the main reason Mikel Arteta needs him is to be in the box in the right places to finish off chances or use his frame to create chaos and space for others to finish. Gyokeres would give Arsenal's attack a new dimension and he is the one kind of player they've been missing in recent years. Advertisement Chelsea, Spurs working on Mohammed Kudus deal With West Ham United seemingly resigned to lose Mohammed Kudus in order to allow manager Graham Potter to have some funds to spend on new players this summer, both Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are interested in the Ghanaian forward. According to David Ornstein Spurs have had a bid of $68 million turned down for Kudus but remain in talks with West Ham. But given Spurs' intense rivalry with West Ham, there is plenty of fan unrest over that deal happening. And according to Fabrizio Romano Chelsea are interested and have held talks with Kudus' agents. With Noni Madueke potentially leaving and Jadon Sancho heading back to Manchester United, Chelsea would technically be a winger short. Even though they have about 27 forwards... Where should Kudus go? Spurs would be a really good fit and Thomas Frank's style of play would suit him well. Would Kudus actually play at Chelsea? Even though Chelsea have added forwards Liam Delap and Joao Pedro and have young winger Estevao Willian arriving this summer too, they could still use Kudus in their rotation. This deal would also save face for West Ham as they'd rather sell Kudus to Chelsea than Spurs. But if Kudus wants to play regularly he should join Spurs.
