The Mercedes driver led an all-British top three in qualifying, beating team-mate Lewis Hamilton and McLaren’s Lando Norris to pole at Silverstone.
F1 world championship leader Max Verstappen was adrift of the pole fight and took fourth place. The Dutchman carried floor damage on his Red Bull after skating over the gravel trap at Copse in Q1, with the team unable to produce a complete repair during qualifying.
But Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez suffered a worse fate in a Q1 Copse off. He dropped out in the first segment and will start the British GP in 19th, only ahead of Pierre Gasly as the Alpine driver takes a grid penalty into the race for a power unit change.
Behind McLaren’s Oscar Piastri in fifth, Nico Hulkenberg starred for Haas again with sixth place in qualifying.
He beat Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz and Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll, as Alex Albon (Williams) and Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) rounded out the top 10.
