Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton has taken top spot in qualifying ahead of the all important Sprint Qualifying at Silverstone. The reigning Champion underlined the much improved Mercedes' pace, utilising the updates to the W12 to snatch back the momentum from Red Bull.
Hamilton set a 1:26.134 on his first run in Q3, a time that ended up being 0.172 clear of Red Bull's Max Verstappen. The Dutch driver had matched Hamilton through the first two sectors of the lap, but ran slightly wide entering the final complex. This resulted in him falling shy of the Mercedes driver.
