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.

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.
