Carlos Sainz became the 104th driver in Formula One history to take pole position as he pipped Red Bull's Max Verstappen to top spot during qualifying for the 2022 British Grand Prix. In tricky conditions, the Spaniard held his nerve when it mattered most as Ferrari took top spot in their bid to break a sequence of six Red Bull race wins in a row. Due to the wet weather conditions, it all ended up coming down to the last lap on an ever drier track as Verstappen looked set to claim his fourth pole position of the season. Instead, Sainz put together an impressive lap to snatch away top spot by just 0.072 seconds.

Fernando Alonso put his Alpine into P7 whilst Mercedes' George Russell will have been disappointed to finish in P8. Alfa Romeo's Zhou Guanyu ended qualifying in P9 whilst Williams' Nicholas Latifi stunned the field to claim P10 - his joint-best ever qualifying result. Here is the classification for qualifying for the 2022 British Grand Prix. Barring any late interventions from race stewards, this is how they will line up: Position Driver 1 Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) 2 Max Verstappen (Red Bull) 3 Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) 4 Sergio Perez (Red Bull) 5 Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) 6 Lando Norris (McLaren) 7 Fernando Alonso (Alpine) 8 George Russell (Mercedes) 9 Zhou Guanyu (Alfa Romeo) 10 Nicholas Latifi (Williams) 11 Pierre Gasly (AlphaTauri) 12 Valtteri Bottas (Alfa Romeo) 13 Yuki Tsunoda (AlphaTauri) 14 Daniel Ricciardo (McLaren) 15 Esteban Ocon (Alpine) 16 Alexander Albon (Williams) 17 Kevin Magnussen (Haas) 18 Sebastian Vettel (Aston Martin) 19 Mick Schumacher (Haas) 20 Lance Stroll (Aston Martin) MORE: Formula 1 to race in Melbourne until 2035 following Australian Grand Prix extension Action and highlights from qualifying for the 2022 British Grand Prix: END OF Q3: CARLOS SAINZ TAKES POLE POSITION!! For the first time in his Formula One career, the Spanish driver is on pole. What a remarkable turn of events at Silverstone. Leclerc spins on the final lap which looks to have slowed Verstappen down in turn due to the yellow flags. The Dutch driver will start P2 on the grid with Leclerc P3. IT’S A FIRST POLE FOR CARLOS SAINZ!!! ????????????#BritishGP #F1 pic.twitter.com/voaglb4wSV — Formula 1 (@F1) July 2, 2022 3:00 left in Q2: On the back of his phenomenal qualifying showing in Canada, Alonso is again flying in the wet conditions. Leclerc goes faster still though as Verstappen recovers to go second fastest so far. 7:00 left in Q3: It's a huge spin from Verstappen as he pushes his car to the absolute limit. That could be absolutely crucial as the rain is likely to get heavier towards the end of this session again. Zhou is fastest so far! Verstappen does a 360° ????The Dutchman manages to regain control and continues on his way#BritishGP #F1 pic.twitter.com/1pcHlK4ATb — Formula 1 (@F1) July 2, 2022 Lights out for Q3: It's the good old typical British weather here at Silverstone as the rain now slows again to cause as much confusion as possible for everyone involved. Verstappen has had the better of everyone else so far on track but could another driver steal the pole position away from him here at the death? END OF Q2: Verstappen finishes top again from Hamilton and Leclerc but it's Latifi who steals the headlines as he sends his Williams car into Q3 by finishing in P10! That's a fantastic result for the Canadian driver who's really struggled this season overall. Gasly, Bottas, Tsunoda, Ricciardo and Ocon are all out. 5:00 left in Q2: Verstappen is absolutely shining once again in these conditions as he sits top of the pack heading into the later part of Q2. The rain is getting heavier and heavier as Hamilton moves up to P2 as it stands. Verstappen is setting the pace again as track conditions deteriorate#BritishGP #F1 pic.twitter.com/zOBO2NvAJj — Formula 1 (@F1) July 2, 2022 10:00 left in Q2: The rain continues to fall then so it's a case of teams coming out a little later this time around in Q2. Hamilton is complaining of some strong vibrations in his cab as Perez sets the fastest lap time of the session so far. Lights out for Q2: We're back on track for the start of Q2 then. Latifi is the first car out onto the Silverstone circuit as the Canadian driver looks to enjoy his first Q2 session of the season after finishing P15 in Q1. END OF Q1: Verstappen is fastest in Q1 ahead of Leclerc and Russell. Albon, Magnussen, Vettel, Schumacher and Stroll are the five drivers who are out in the opening qualifying period, that's massively disappointing for Haas and Aston Martin in particular who see both of their drivers knocked out.

At the other end, it's Stroll, Vettel, Schumacher, Gasly and Alonso in the danger zone for now. The track is still wet, but a dry line is slowly starting to emerge, and the rain has stopped.#BritishGP #F1 pic.twitter.com/uB0bpyolmR — Formula 1 (@F1) July 2, 2022 10:00 left in Q1: The drivers are also fighting some strong winds out there as Valtteri Bottas goes for a spin. Leclerc is fastest from Hamilton and Verstappen after the early laps but I wouldn't read too much into the standings so far as conditions will likely only improve from here. 15:00 left in Q1: The rain is coming down heavy at Silverstone now and even on the intermediate tyres a few of the drivers are sliding all over the track. Everyone except the two Alpine drivers of Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon are already out for their first run. Lights out for Q1: The massive stack of cars waiting at the end of the pit lane are finally released and we're away for qualifying at the 2022 British Grand Prix. Expect every driver to get out on track as soon as they possibly can given that we may see the rain get heavier at any point throughout this opening session. Welcome to qualifying from Silverstone ????????It's a bit wet! ☔️#BritishGP #F1 pic.twitter.com/PUmH4j0OMi — Formula 1 (@F1) July 2, 2022 5 mins until qualifying begins: Oooohhhh there's plenty of umbrellas coming out in the grand stand here at Silverstone, stay tuned for qualifying as this could prove to be great fun! 15 mins until qualifying begins: The old porpoising problems continue to persist for Mercedes though whilst Ferrari have also struggled so far this weekend with the same issues. In practice 3 Carlos Sainz saw his car almost bounce him off the track which won't have come as a pleasant surprise for the Spaniard. No such porpoising problems for Red Bull however as their car continues to look incredibly sturdy in all situations around Silverstone. 30 mins until qualifying begins: Isn't it fantastic to see a sold out Silverstone once again? Over 400,000 jubilant F1 fans are expected to make the trip to this famous track this weekend to see their heroes race. Lewis Hamilton, George Russell and Lando Norris are the home favourites of course but can any of them pull a surprise or two this weekend? Well, Hamilton himself has enjoyed the most wins in the sports history at this venue with eight victories and with his Mercedes car looking a bit more punchy so far this weekend plus the threat of rain on the horizon, count him out at your own peril! Feeling the brotherly love ????#BritishGP #F1 @LewisHamilton pic.twitter.com/hsW8yjfO4j — Formula 1 (@F1) July 2, 2022 45 mins until qualifying begins: After an indifferent start to the weekend through practice sessions 1 and 2, it was Max Verstappen who set some rather formidable looking pace in practice 3 earlier today as he put his Red Bull car 0.4 seconds ahead of the chasing pack around Silverstone. The current world champion will be full of confidence heading into qualifying shortly then, though he may not have it all his own way however with the upcoming session looking likely to experience some rain at points which could definitely shake up the grid order just like in Canada last time out. 1 hour until qualifying begins: Hello, and welcome to The Sporting News' live coverage of today's qualifying session for the 2022 British Grand Prix. After going 0.4 seconds faster than his competition in the third practice session earlier today, Red Bull's Max Verstappen will be the red hot favourite to grab pole position for the race tomorrow, though after changing some of his engine components in Canada prior to the previous race, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc will be looking to take his own seventh pole position of the season this afternoon! MORE: Which driver has the most wins in F1 history? Top 10 with most victories in Formula One Last time out at the Canadian Grand Prix, Red Bull's Max Verstappen claimed his sixth race win of the season after impressively also taking pole position throughout an action-packed wet qualifying session the day prior. In Canada he finished over half a second in front of the chasing pack and after taking top spot in qualifying at the British Grand Prix last year, he'll be hoping for more success here at Silverstone as he chases his third pole position of the year. After an impressive drive from last on the grid to finishing P5 in Canada though, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc - who took fresh engine components in Montreal - will arrive at the British Grand Prix hunting a seventh pole position of the season and his first at the famous race track in Northamptonshire. Red Bull's Sergio Perez and Ferrari's Carlos Sainz will also likely be in the battle for top spot in qualifying as too will Mercedes pair Lewis Hamilton and George Russell given their impressive finishes in Canada and much improved car performance overall. Hamilton has taken seven of the last eight wins at Silverstone and has taken pole position here seven times throughout his illustrious career to date! What channel is the F1 race on tomorrow?
