Do I need to buy a hdmi 2.1 cable to get best picture between sky q and a Samsung smart 4k tv

No. HDMI 2.0 certified cables are good enough to handle the bandwidth needed for 4k HDR at 60Hz

Can't hurt though. Except in the wallet.

@Else1

HDMI 2.1 cables are intended to carry the bitrate for 8K resolution. As @Chodley indicates there's no harm in using one for Q, but don't pay more than £10.
