Mark Webber denies hot favourite Vettel at the top of the grid while there are mixed fortunes for the British drivers

There's a Red Bull occupying pole position on the Silverstone grid for the British Grand Prix - but it's not the car of championship leader Sebastien Vettel.

Team-mate Mark Webber produced a flying lap to take the no.1 slot with Vettel - who was matched at [1.42] In-Play - just in behind him on the grid. The top three is rounded out by Fernando Alonso. Webber was matched at [16.0] to qualify fastest.

There was a mixture of joy and despair for the British drivers. Three made the top ten with McLaren's Jenson Button the highest up the grid in fifth, but team-mate Lewis Hamilton will be slumming it with the also-rans in tenth.

However, Scotland's Paul Di Resta will be delighted after taking his Force India to the giddy heights of sixth place.

Vettel looks likely to go off around [2.8] favourite for Sunday's race. Webber trades at [3.1].

Despite the best advice of Byron, Jack Houghton is opposing Vettel again and sees value in supporting a British driver for the crown....

Lewis Hamilton is having a tough time but the Contrarian still loves him. What's not to love about a driver willing to take risks that leave him as liable to finish last as first? He tends to bounce back after...

The world champion is bidding for a seventh race win of the season at Silverstone this Sunday. Betfair punters think he will get it......
