Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton have a point to prove at this weekend's British Grand Prix after having failed to win any of the previous five races. Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen are currently on fire as the Dutchman won four of the previous five races while the fifth race was won by his teammate, Sergio Perez. However, after five frustrating races, Hamilton finally set the disappointment aside as he clocked the fastest time in this weekend's British Grand Prix qualifying on Friday.

Hamilton will start Saturday's sprint race ahead of title rival Max Verstappen as he looks to reduce the gap in the Drivers' Championship standings. Verstappen (182) currently leads Hamilton (150) by 32 points. Meanwhile, Red Bull Racing (286) currently lead Mercedes F1 (242) in the Constructors' standings by 44 points.

Further behind, Valtteri Bottas could only manage third fastest in the other Mercedes after failing to outqualify Verstappen on his last flying lap. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc clocked an impressive time to qualify fourth, with Red Bull's Sergio Perez only managing fifth fastest. Perez will be followed by the two McLaren's of Lando Norris in sixth and Daniel Ricciardo in seventh.
