Lewis Hamilton will start in pole position at the 2016 Formula One British Grand Prix on Sunday after finishing first in Saturday's qualifying session.

His Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg finished close behind while Max Verstappen will start in third. Earlier, Hamilton had completed the hat-trick in practice by topping the classification in FP3 ahead of Rosberg, having finished quickest in both runs the day before.

Here is a recap of Saturday's action at Silverstone.

  

Qualifying Recap Here is how the grid will line up on Sunday after the three qualification rounds, per F1:



After a disappointing morning session, Jenson Button capped off a poor day on the track with elimination at the first hurdle when Daniil Kvyat and Kevin Magnussen produced strong laps late in the session to bump him to 17th.

Jolyon Palmer, Rio Haryanto, Pascal Wehrlein and Felipe Nasr were also eliminated, while Marcus Ericsson did not run after crashing in practice.

In Q2, Hamilton laid down a marker for the rest of the field:



After a series of mistakes, the pressure was really on Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen as the final minutes ticked down in the second session:



On his final lap, the Finn managed to secure sixth place with the only time he set in the session.

Esteban Gutierrez set his best time on his final run but could only manage 14th. Sergio Perez, Felipe Massa, Romain Grosjean, Kvyat and Magnussen also failed to the make the grade.

At the start of Q3, Rosberg quickly set the pace with a time of one minute, 29.606 seconds. In the recurring theme of the day, that was surpassed by Hamilton moments later, but the Englishman's time was deleted after he strayed too far wide at Turn 9:



However, on his final lap, Hamilton ensured he would start at the head of the grid on home soil.
