George Russell leads Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton for all-British front-row in qualifying at Silverstone.
Russell had provisional pole after the first runs of Q3 but seven-time world champion Hamilton briefly snatched P1 away from his teammate, only for Russell to reclaim it by 0.171s with his final effort right at the end of qualifying."What a feeling! At the start of this year we couldn't have dreamt of being on pole here," said Russell.
"We are riding this wave at the moment. Absolutely buzzing. But eyes on tomorrow. We have a race to win. It will be tight with Lando and Max will be fast as well. I'm so excited right now." Nico Hulkenberg was a brilliant sixth for Haas, ahead of Ferrari's Carlos Sainz, Aston Martin's Lance Stroll and Williams driver Alex Albon, who also impressed.Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc suffered a shock elimination with only the 11th-quickest time after being pipped to a spot in the top-10 by Stroll.
Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo were 13th and 15th respectively, with Sauber’s Zhou Guanyu sandwiched inbetween the RB pair.
