Max Verstappen delivered another outstanding qualifying performance to land pole position for the British Grand Prix.
Seemingly from nowhere, the four-time F1 champion knocked McLaren's Oscar Piastri off top spot with the last lap of the top-10 shoot-out with a 1:24.892, beating Piastri by 0.103s. Lando Norris starts third in his McLaren.
Mercedes' George Russell and Lewis Hamilton in his Ferrari complete the top five.
Yuki Tsunoda, meanwhile, suffered another qualifying failure in his Red Bull after being knocked out in Q2, setting the 12th quickest time.
The first session was red-flagged with six minutes and 49 seconds remaining after under-pressure Franco Colapinto slid off the track out of the final corner in his Alpine, into the gravel, and onto a barrier.
Although he managed to get going again, he later stopped off track, leading to a delay of 10 minutes for minor barrier repairs, car retrieval and track cleaning.
The final grid will be affected by two penalties - 10 places for Haas driver Oliver Bearman after failing to comply with red flags in the final practice session, whilst Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli will drop three places after crashing into Verstappen on the opening lap of last Sunday's Austrian GP. Antonelli and Bearman qualified seventh and eighth respectively.
