British GP: Qualifying - Re-Cap & Results

BRITISH GP - QUALIFYING - RE-CAP & RESULTS

    Lewis Hamilton will start his home race from pole position after rain threatened to slow lap times and cause poor visibility. Daniel Ricciardo was out of Q1 early on due to an apparent turbo issue. He pulled over onto the grass and caused red flags and the session was temporarily halted. Ricciardo also has a 5-Place-Grid-Penalty for an unscheduled gearbox change and an additional 10-Place-Grid-Penalty for multiple engine component changes. Bottas also has a 5-Place-Grid-Penalty for an unscheduled gearbox change. McLaren's, Fernando Alonso, will take a 30-Place-Grid-Penalty for multiple engine component changes.

HOW IT WORKS:

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

Q2 = 15 minutes. The remaining cars go out. At the end of the session, the five 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.
