Qualifying recap
The starting grid
Henry Clark at Silverstone: It has been a pretty awful four days in terms of the weather but that has failed to dampen the spirits of the hardy souls in the grandstands.
After a rare period of glorious sunshine, it has just started raining again. A shame for the fans in some respects, but a positive, perhaps, for the race. The wet would certainly level the playing field in Mercedes' favour, setting up a potential thriller.
