Lewis Hamilton (1st, 1:26.134): “I am so grateful to see everyone here – to come to the Silverstone Grand Prix and have a full crowd and see the energy is amazing. Qualifying itself was very, very competitive, with several teams producing good lap-times, making getting through the sessions by no means a foregone conclusion. Overall, it was a decent session: I was happy with my best lap in Q2, but in Q3 I struggled to find more from the car. Qualifying was going well until the last run, when we had a messy out lap. I had a good feeling with the car from the start of the session, building confidence every lap up to Q2, where I put together a strong lap time to make it into Q3. It is a pity, because the car had the pace and the lap time was there. Happy as a I felt it was a good lap but frustrated that it was slow.
