Mark Webber pips Sebastian Vettel to British Grand Prix pole

Mark Webber won a close battle with Red Bull team-mate Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso to claim pole for Sunday's British Grand Prix.

It is only the second time in nine races this season that Vettel has been beaten to pole and Alonso was closer than Ferrari were expected to be here.

But McLaren struggled, with Jenson Button qualifying fifth for his home race and Lewis Hamilton only 10th.

Scot Paul di Resta was impressive in taking sixth for Force India.

The 26-year-old has now out-qualified his experienced team-mate Adrian Sutil for the seventh time in nine races.
