Kimi Antonelli said everything "all came together" after he followed up his sprint victory by claiming pole for Sunday's British Grand Prix. 

Antonelli won the sprint race at Silverstone earlier on Saturday after passing pole-sitter Lewis Hamilton, and was able to get the better of Ferrari once again in qualifying. 

The Italian topped the timesheets and finished 0.175 seconds ahead of Charles Leclerc, while nine-time winner Hamilton took third ahead of former team-mate George Russell. 

Isack Hadjar ended up in fifth, beating Max Verstappen for only the second time this year in qualifying, while last year's race winner Lando Norris could only manage sixth.

Red Bull's Verstappen, Oscar Piastri of McLaren and the Racing Bulls duo of Arvid Lindblad and Liam Lawson rounded out the top 10, though the day belonged to Antonelli. 

Having already extended his lead in the Drivers' Championship to 43 points over Russell by winning the sprint, the talented teenager looked even more comfortable here. 

Antonelli did, however, complain about coming out first for the final session, but ended up beating his previous time by 0.3 seconds to put himself clear of his rivals.

"I was a bit stressed because I never really liked going first for the last run, but the last lap was very tidy, I have to be honest," Antonelli said. 

"It all came together. It was very tricky with the wind because it was very gusty and unpredictable. We built our way through qualifying, and to bring the pole home is very satisfying."

Antonelli has now claimed five pole positions in Formula One, going level with Giuseppe Farina as the Italian driver with the third-most poles in the history of the sport. 

He also has the chance to surpass Sebastian Vettel as the youngest winner of the British Grand Prix, after the former Red Bull and Ferrari driver won it in 2009 aged 21 years, 11 months and eight days. 

When asked if any changes had been made to his car between his sprint victory and qualifying, Antonelli added: "No, we did not change the car at all.

"It was just about differential, brake migration, driving. We worked around it, and we managed to find a good setting that helped me to progress through qualifying."

Hamilton, meanwhile, fell just short of an eighth pole around Silverstone, while this is the first time in his illustrious career he will start the British Grand Prix from third. 

The seven-time world champion is enjoying his best points-per-race average in the last five seasons, though he was far from content with starting on the second row. 

"Am I satisfied? Of course not, I'm P3. But I am happy to be up here. Both these guys did a great job today. Charles has been making good improvements," Hamilton said.

"We just didn't have the pace, unfortunately, over Mercedes. It has been a thing for a while, but we are slowly closing the gap and to have us both up here is great for the team."

And while Hamilton acknowledged the difficulty of challenging Antonelli for the win, he remained optimistic of a 10th victory at his home race. 

"It is definitely great to have us both up here," Hamilton added. 

"Because that means, hopefully, whether we can keep up with Kimi, we will see tomorrow, but hopefully, we can play with the strategy and work as a team to try to topple them.

"We will do our best for sure."
