Vettel injured before SIlverstone qualifying
Vettel injured before SIlverstone qualifying
Sebastian Vettel's participation in British grand Prix was thrown into doubt after he suffered a neck injury on Saturday morning. The Ferrari man only completed six laps in FP3 before leaving the car for treatment, which extended into the hour before qualifying started.
The Scuderia have looked on form at Silverstone all weekend, with Vettel going quickest of all on Friday and six Ferrari-powered cars in the top 10 of Saturday's early session.
However, world champion Lewis Hamilton's eyes may have lit up amid reports that Vettel was struggling physically ahead of qualifying.
Vettel was not the only driver with concerns ahead of qualifying.
Brendon Hartley was forced to sit out qualifying as a result of damage sustained in an enormous FP3 crash.

The front-let suspension of his Toro Rosso failed on the Wellington Straight, pitching him into the barriers at high speed.
His team-mate Pierre Gasly was also put under pressure, with the FIA demanding that his entire suspension be changed before qualifying in an attempt to avoid a similar issue.
