What happened: McLaren will line up sixth and eighth on the grid for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, the team's home race. Qualifying put Kimi Antonelli on pole, with Charles Leclerc second and Lewis Hamilton third in front of the British crowd.
Why it matters: Starting from the third and fourth rows leaves the same McLaren that spent the week dialing in final details facing an uphill Sunday in front of its home supporters. With Mercedes locking out the front of the grid, the team will need strong race pace and clean strategy to climb toward the podium places.
By the numbers: Silverstone starting grid, top five: Kimi Antonelli P1, Charles Leclerc P2, Lewis Hamilton P3, George Russell P4, Isack Hadjar P5. McLaren's two cars follow from P6 and P8.
What to watch: Lights out at Silverstone on Sunday, where the focus turns to whether McLaren can convert its midgrid starting slots into a points haul at home.
