David Coulthard would have hoped for a top ten qualifying position but instead the Scotsman only just missed out on the final qualifying session. Coulthard will start Sunday's British Grand Prix from P11 which is a disappointing result.
Force India Formula One Team's gamble of putting in a series of laps in the opening 10 minutes, when the weather was dry, and then a final flying lap in the dying minute following a brief shower, so nearly paid dividends. Giancarlo Fisichella looked set to move himself into the top 15 on his very last lap, until a spin in the last sector put paid to his chance. The Italian will start in 20th position, with team-mate Adrian Sutil just ahead in 19th.
AT&T Williams had a difficult qualifying session for Sunday's British Grand Prix at Silverstone today. Having suffered with an unresolved suspension issue all weekend, Nico Rosberg was forced out of Q1 in P18. Kazuki Nakajima fared only slightly better making it into Q2 but was restricted to P15, the conclusion of a lack of grip and an underperforming car.
Mark Webber is enjoying an extremely good British Grand Prix weekend at Silverstone. From the start of the weekend Webber could be found among the fastest drivers on track with his Red Bull car. The Australian will start Sunday's race from the front row.
