Verstappen, who has shown good pace in practice, will now start from 11th on the grid after a power unit change.

Sergio Perez managed to secure second in the other Red Bull with only 0.011s behind the pole-sitter, while Lewis Hamilton, who grabbed his first win in 945 days at Silverstone, rounded out the top three.

Race winners Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri continued their strong showing this season, having secured fourth and fifth positions respectively.

George Russell will start sixth for Mercedes, with Carlos Sainz, Fernando Alonso, Esteban Ocon, and Alexander Albon rounding out the top ten.

Further down the order, Yuki Tsunoda of RB has been hit with a massive 60-place grid penalty for using additional power unit elements and will start the race from the back of the grid.

The FIA also issued a three-place grid drop to Stake F1's Zhou Guanyu for impeding Verstappen during the first qualifying run.
