LEWIS Hamilton stormed to pole position for his home British Formula One Grand Prix yesterday with German teammate Nico Rosberg qualifying alongside in an all-Mercedes front row.
The 2008 world champion, chasing his first win for Mercedes after leaving McLaren last year, started the session with a wave for the crowd from the pit wall and ended it with the fans saluting him.
"Storming job there, Lewis, storming job," the team told him over the radio.
The pole was the 28th of Hamilton's career and Mercedes' fifth in eight races.
"The crowd do make a huge difference... I come here with an extra boost of energy. I just want to pay them back," said Hamilton, who also qualified on pole at Silverstone in his debut 2007 season and won in 2008.
Red Bull's triple world champion Sebastian Vettel qualified third and will share the second row with teammate Mark Webber, in what will be the Australian's last British race before quitting F1 at the end of the year.
Briton Paul Di Resta for Force India and young Australian Daniel Ricciardo of Toro Rosso will line up on the third row.
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, 36 points behind Vettel in the championship, qualified 10th in a disappointing performance by the Italian team, which had Brazilian Felipe Massa in 12th.
