Reuters - Current Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton secured pole position for the British Grand Prix on Saturday, and his Mercedes teammate and rival Nico Rosberg will start alongside him on the front row.
Young Dutchman Max Verstappen and his Red Bull teammate Daniel Ricciardo secured the second row of starts, with Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen in fifth.
Hamilton's pole position – thanks to a sensational final lap after his first effort in the final phase was deleted for exceeding track limits – was the 55th of his career and the fourth at Silverstone.
The Briton is looking for his fourth win on Sunday, and his third consecutive home victory, to close the gap to Rosberg in the championship, which stands at 11 points.
Felipe Massa, from Williams, will start in 12th place, while fellow Brazilian Felipe Nasr, from Sauber, qualified only in 21st.
