British GP: Qualifying - Re-Cap & Results

BRITISH GRAND PRIX - QUALIFYING

    Mercedes locks out the front row for the start of the British GP and it's Lewis Hamilton who will start on Pole Position for his home grand prix. Sauber driver, 

Marcus Ericsson, was unable to take part in Qualifying due to his heavy crash in FP3. Ericsson is uninjured and has been medically cleared to take part in the race. However, he did need a new chassis and will start from Pit-Lane. Sebastian Vettel will be starting in 11th despite his 6th place finish in qualifying, due to a gearbox change.

HOW IT WORKS:

Q1 = 18 minutes. All cars allowed to go out. At the end of the session, the six slowest are eliminated.

Q2 = 15 minutes. The remaining cars go out. At the end of the session, the six slowest are eliminated.

Q3 = 12 minutes. Final 10 cars go out. The final order at the end of the session is how the grid will line up. Fastest car starts from Pole Position.
