Race number nine of 22 on the 2026 Formula 1 schedule, which originally featured a record-matching 24 races before two early-season cancelations, is the British Grand Prix at Silverstone Circuit.
While overtaking has increased this year in the first season under the sport's new regulations, all eight Grands Prix contested so far have been won by a driver who started on the front row.
That has also been true for all four sprint races contested so far in 2026, including Saturday's, which was won from P2 on the grid by Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli.
But the 2025 edition of the 52-lap race around the 18-turn, 3.661-mile (5.892-kilometer) road course in Silverstone, Northamptonshire, England, United Kingdom was won from third on the grid by McLaren's Lando Norris.
Will this weekend's Grand Prix qualifying prove just as crucial this weekend as it has throughout the 2026 season thus far?
