Max Verstappen: Slips to fifth at British GP

Verstappen finished fifth at the British Grand Prix F1 race at Silverstone Circuit on Sunday.

Analysis:

Verstappen took a surprise pole position over both Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, but he lost the lead on Lap 8. Rainy weather and a resulting pair of safety cars kept the field bunched together for most of the race, but Verstappen spun on a restart on Lap 21, causing him to drop to 10th place. He managed to gain some positions due to a combination of on-track passes and the team's strategy, but it was ultimately a disappointing day, and the team's gamble of a low-downforce setup didn't pay off on race day.
