Max Verstappen beat the McLaren's to pole position at the British Grand Prix with a sensational qualifying lap.
The Red Bull driver pipped championship leader Oscar Piastri to pole by 0.103s in an incredibly tight qualifying at Silverstone, while home favourite Lando Norris was third, 0.118s behind.
George Russell produced a strong lap to take fourth ahead of Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton, who appeared to have the pace to challenge for pole in Q2 before fading in the all-important Q3, ending up 0.203s adrift.
The seven-time world champion did manage to outqualify Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc for only the second time this season in regular qualifying.
Kimi Antonelli was seventh but will drop three places for taking out Verstappen last time out in Austria.
Oliver Bearman claimed a stunning P8 for Haas but has a 10-place grid penalty for a red flag infringement in final practice.
Fernando Alonso and Pierre Gasly rounded out the top-10 for Aston Martin and Alpine.
Carlos Sainz narrowly missed out on a spot in Q3 in 11th for Williams, while Yuki Tsunoda was only 12th in the second Red Bull.
Isack Hadjar took 13th for Racing Bulls, ahead of Alex Albon’s Williams and the Haas of Esteban Ocon, who was slowest of the 15 drivers to contest Q2.
Liam Lawson could only manage 16th ahead of the Sauber pair of Gabriel Bortoleto and Nico Hulkenberg, who were split by Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll in 18th.
Franco Colapinto, under pressure to retain his Alpine seat, ended up slowest of all after spinning off and crashing at the final corner.
