Hamilton on top at home
Lewis Hamilton has taken the pole position for the British GP with a stunning last minute lap.
The Ferrari’s have looked quick all weekend up until Qualifying where they seemed to be sandbagging a little bit in Q1 and Q2.
Alonso was the first to set a time in the Q3 session, with a 1:20.410 looking like a decent time with fuel on board.
Massa and Raikkonen however came out all guns blazing in Q3, and took the fight to the McLaren’s, Massa siting in second, Raikkonen in third and Hamilton in fourth.
With just seconds to go Alonso raised the bar on the three cars behind him by setting a 1:20.147, next over the line was Massa with a 1:20.265. Raikkonen was then the next man through, setting the fastest time with a great lap of 1:20.099, even if he ran wide in front of the Woodcote stands.

Ecclestone to embrace Silverstone
So after years of name calling towards Silverstone, it looks like Ecclestone may be about to get all friendly with the race track.
Harry Stiller has talked about a deal that the British Racing Drivers Club (BRDC) have been working with Ecclestone over. He said Ecclestone had agreed in principle to "an arrangement whereby there is common ground for a 50-50 deal between the Formula One Management (FOM) and Silverstone on a long-term, ongoing basis."
This would be a bit of a coo for Silverstone as it's title sponsor Fosters has already announced it is to pull out of F1 at the end of the season. It would also mean the current deal for races until 2009 would almost definitely be extended.
