Max Verstappen denied Lewis Hamilton his first F1 pole position with Ferrari after completing a spectacular lap at Silverstone.

Hamilton was close to clinching pole position at Silverstone, where he set the fastest time in Q2, but was unable to put a tidy lap together to secure a front row start with Ferrari.

Red Bull star Yuki Tsunoda was knocked out in Q2 and Silverstone marks the sixth consecutive weekend the Japanese driver has failed to make Q3.

Elsewhere, Franco Colapinto caused a red flag in Q1 after he suffered a huge spin and veered off the track into the barriers, spitting out gravel in his wake.

The Argentine driver managed to get his Alpine going again but eventually stopped on track at Copse corner, unable to return his car to the pits and prompted a red flag.

Both Kimi Antonelli and Ollie Bearman will serve a grid penalty for Sunday's race, with the Mercedes star facing a three-place grid drop and the Haas driver a 10-place demotion.

How does F1 Qualifying work?

The qualifying session is split into three finite windows, which provide a dramatic prelude to Sunday's race.

The bottom five drivers are eliminated at the end of Q1, with a further five eliminated after Q2.

Then, Q3 gives us a shootout between the remaining 10 drivers in the battle for positions at the front of the grid.
