Germany's Sebastian Vettel, in a Red Bull, will start today's British Grand Prix in pole position after topping final qualifying.
It was the German's second consecutive pole and the 22-year-old has now collected five poles this season, with the Red Bull team having now taken nine from 10 races this year.
Vettel clocked a fastest time of 1min 29.615sec, two-tenths faster than team-mate Mark Webber of Australia. Spaniard Fernando Alonso qualified third for Ferrari.
The German said he loved driving round the Silverstone track and was hoping for a repeat of his 2009 win.
"It's unbelievable," Vettel said. "It's just so much fun driving here, I really like this track and the new section is also great - I hope we can repeat last year's result."
Webber, 33, said his team was probably happy with the result but confessed that he would rather be starting on the cleaner side of the track.
"I would rather be third on the grid probably, we know second on the grid at most sides is not good," he said.
"If Fernando wants to change we will see if we can."
Alonso, meanwhile, is hoping to make the most of his positive start to the weekend and claw back some of the points he lost out in Montreal and Valencia.
"We need to capitalise on potential and score points we didn't score in the last two races," he said.
"We had strong races in Canada and Valencia but didn't score the points we wanted, but here we are again strong, we are competitive, and hopefully we can score some good points for the team tomorrow (today)."
Crowd favourite Lewis Hamilton of McLaren opted to ditch his new rear-blown diffuser, but managed to place fourth.
The 25-year-old admitted that his team was a long way off matching the pace of the Red Bulls, but was hoping that they will add to their catalogue of reliability issues during today's race.
"In terms of pure pace, it's impossible to touch Red Bull at the moment," said Hamilton. "But their car isn't as reliable as ours so we're banking on that really."
German Nico Rosberg of Mercedes was fifth, with Poland's Robert Kubica of Renault sixth fastest followed by Brazilian Felipe Massa who will start in seventh in the second Ferrari.
Williams driver Brazilian Rubens Barrichello qualified eighth ahead of Sauber's Pedro de la Rosa and German Michael Schumacher of Mercedes who will start 10th.
