British GP: Qualifying - Re-Cap & Results

We're just hours away from the 2014 British GP, so let's re-cap Qualifying.

It was a rainy session which proved difficult for big teams like Ferrari and Williams. But Force India and McLaren were happy, all 4 cars making it into Q3. Both Marussia's made it into Q2, later calling it their best Qualifying so-far.

Rosberg took pole, after Lewis Hamilton made a mistake on his flying lap, later apologizing to the fans for his mishap. He will start from 6th. The big story was Jenson Button, finishing in 3rd, his best qualifying result in years. His home grand prix, what could be better? Finishing on that podium. While McLaren remains hopeful, they also said they need to be "Realistic" 

As for Sauber, Adrian Sutil crashed out of Q1, even though setting a time fast enough for Q2, he was unable to set a time in the second session. Esteban, made it into Q2, but lost control of the car and was umable to get into Q3. He also has a 10-Place-Grid-Penalty from Austria.
