In mixed and gusty weather conditions Mercedes scored a brilliant one-two result in qualifying for the British GP, with George Russell edging out Sir Lewis Hamilton by 0.171sec. McLaren-Mercedes start P3 on Sunday, with Lando Norris making it three British drivers in the first three positions, but Red Bull-Honda's Max Verstappen will line up only P4 after an excursion in Q1, when he was caught out by rain at the exit of Turn Seven. Oscar Piastri was P5 for McLaren-Mercedes, ahead of the Haas-Ferrari of Nico Hulkenberg. Haas embarrassed the factory Ferraris with their pace, for Carlos Sainz was P7 and Charles Leclerc failed to make it into Q3. In this video Peter Windsor analyses the key results of qualifying and, specifically, the way Russell and Hamilton created subtly different laps of Silverstone.
