Afternoon everyone, and welcome to LIVE coverage of qualifying from Silverstone!

Your top ten for Silverstone: Webber, Vettel, Alonso, Massa, Button, Di Resta, Maldonado, Kobayashi, Rosberg, Hamilton

No! Rosberg almost loses the car as he approaches Stowe - there'll be no changes to position, and qualifying ends in slightly mute fashion.

Maybe not - Rosberg looks like he might be improving his time on a brave lap...

Button backs out a couple of corners into the lap - couldn't risk it - will that cost him? Or is that the end of the session as the rain falls?

Seven cars back on track now - will the others follow? There's a huge amount at stake. Button told of 'light rain' on the south side of the track...

The teams are back on the move to get a second set of tyres on the cars and get out again. Is there a bit of rain in the air?

And now Hamilton is tenth - Kobayashi comes round to put his Sauber 8th.

Exciting stuff - Ferrari very close - Alonso just a tenth adrift in third, Massa a bit further back in fourth. Button in fifth more than a second away. Di Resta a braver effort in sixth, Hamilton the slowest of all those who have posted a lap.

Webber finds time in sector three! He's four-hundredths quicker than Vettel with a 1:30.399!

Webber just behind Vettel on track, but he's a tenth behind after sector two.

All eyes on this season's king of qualifying, Seb Vettel. Can he plunder pole again?

Only Kobayashi stays in the pits for now, perhaps eyeing just one run.

10 minutes on the clock! Drivers out immediately for this one - it's been a tale of different strategies to each one of the three qualifying sessions...

Eliminated - Kovalainen, Heidfeld, Barrichelllo, Petrov, Schumacher, Perez, Sutil

Button's time, by the way, a 1:32.2 - so only four-tenths separated 4th and 13th...

The casualty is Schumacher - his 1:32.656 only good enough for 13th.

Button coming through - he's safe! Shoots up to fourth just in time.

Hamilton pits sitting seventh - is he safe?

TIME UP - Just the final laps to finish...

Rosberg shoots up to fourth, trouble for McLaren, Button is stuck in 13th...
