Mercedes AMG Petronas 2019 British Grand Prix – Saturday

Press release available only in original language. 

Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport lock out the front row in Silverstone

  • Valtteri claimed his tenth pole position in Formula One – his fourth of the 2019 season and first at Silverstone
  • Lewis completed a Mercedes front row lock-out at the British Grand Prix

  • Both drivers will start the race on the Medium tyre

Valtteri Bottas

When I got the radio call that I qualified on pole, I was just really happy – I’ve been missing this feeling. It’s very difficult to beat Lewis here, he’s always very strong in #silverstone. My lap wasn’t perfect, there was still some margin left to improve, but no one got a perfect lap together, so it was enough in the end. I now have to make good use of the pole; Lewis’ race pace has been really strong this year, so I’m sure it’ll be a good fight tomorrow. Charles will also be a threat, especially in the beginning of the race because he’s starting on the softer tyres. We are starting on the Mediums, which will make the start tricky, but should be the better choice in the long run. I’m looking forward to the race, it should be good fun.
