Bottas ends Hamilton's pole streak at Silverstone

Valtteri Bottas beat Lewis Hamilton to pole position for the British Grand Prix by six thousandths of a second, ending his team-mate's streak of home pole positions.

Hamilton had taken Saturday honours at the last four editions of the Silverstone race, but was edged out as he just failed to improve enough with his second run in Q3.

Charles Leclerc took third for Ferrari and will start on the soft tyres, holding a slight advantage over the Silver Arrows, who set their Q2 times on mediums.

Sebastian Vettel could only go sixth-fastest in the other Ferrari, struggling for pace throughout the day.

Max Verstappen and Pierre Gasly were fourth and fifth-quickest in the Red Bull – the first time the Dutchman has outpaced his team-mate all weekend.

Daniel Ricciardo pipped Lando Norris to best of the rest honours, with Alexander Albon and Nico Hulkenberg rounding out the top 10.

Q2

Romain Grosjean and Sergio Perez went out a session after their respective team-mates while the Alfa Romeo pair were also eliminated, with Antonio Giovinazzi ahead of Kimi Raikkonen for a third race in a row. Carlos Sainz was a surprise exit for the resurgent McLaren team.

Q1

There were familiar stories in Q1 as George Russell out-qualified Robert Kubica on the back row and Lance Stroll suffered his 14th first-segment exit in a row. Daniil Kvyat and Kevin Magnussen – fifth fastest in Austria qualifying a fortnight ago – also went out.
