"RACE to win." The three words from George Russell which showed how desperate he is to deliver a home victory for the Silverstone fans today.
On a drying track, he snatched pole position from Lewis Hamilton who will start on the front row for the first time this year at his home race.
And Lando Norris made sure the top three grid slots were filled by Brits to send the Silverstone crowd wild.
Among the spectators was Hollywood star Brad Pitt (right) who saw all three Brits get the better of Max Verstappen, who picked up floor damage early in the session and had to settle for fourth.
"This is one of the best feelings I've ever had," said Russell.
"The car was just insane - it just really came alive.
"Crossing the line and seeing my name P1, and then seeing we were both on the front row - we couldn't have even dreamt of that after the first three or four races."
