While Maintaining Crazy 0.3s Gap, Max Verstappen Dubbed ‘A F*cking Legend’ By F1 Fans For a Wild 360 at British GP

That was some save from the world champion! Still, Max Verstappen did not have a perfect British GP Qualifying as he finished P2 behind the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz.

The Red Bull driver looked the quickest driver on the wet track at Silverstone on Saturday. But he did have one hair-raising moment approaching the Vale chicane in Q3. Verstappen was comfortably fastest on the track but spun at the Stowe corner but held on to the car beautifully to do a 360 spin.

F1 fans on Twitter and on the track too were impressed by the car control shown by the world champion. They took to social media to share their reactions to the moment and compliment Verstappen on his skills.

The most extraordinary thing about the save was that he only finished some 3 tenths behind Charles Leclerc and was a second up on Lewis Hamilton.

Can Max Verstappen win the 2022 British GP on Sunday?

Verstappen finished the session P2 but will hope to get a good start for tomorrow’s race. He did not sound too disappointed with his result and called the wet conditions a lottery.

“It was quite a tricky qualifying with the rain. Also, because it was raining and then dry, you had to find the pace at the right time, but the car was working well. Q3 can be a bit of a lottery sometimes.”

“But still, to be on the front row is very good for us and we have a good race car in the dry and the wet. Success tomorrow is not just about the first lap but the whole race, tire management, and things like that,” said Max after qualifying to Channel 4.

Verstappen definitely looked like the faster driver throughout the weekend. So let’s see if he can challenge Sainz tomorrow in the race.
