"They scared me yesterday" – Hamilton expected Ferrari to be six tenths off at Silverstone

Lewis Hamilton was initially concerned about Ferrari's performance at Silverstone, predicting a significant six-tenths gap in straight-line speed. This worry was evident during the British Grand Prix media day and even after the practice session. However, Hamilton's team defied these expectations by securing a surprising pole position in the sprint race. This outcome highlights the unpredictable nature of Formula 1, where expectations can often be upended by a single strong performance.
