Dutch teenager Max Verstappen and his Red Bull team mate Daniel Ricciardo filled the second row with Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen fifth.

Hamilton’s pole thanks to a sensational last lap after his first effort of the final phase was deleted for exceeding track limits was the 55th of his career and fourth at Silverstone.

The Briton will be chasing his fourth win on Sunday, and third home success in a row, to cut Rosberg’s championship lead of 11 points.
