Nico Hulkenberg sealed a stunning P3 in qualifying for the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix behind the Mercedes duo of polesitter Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton at Silverstone on Saturday afternoon.

Just one week after stepping in for Racing Point's Sergio Perez at the British Grand Prix only to suffer the disappointment of not being able to start the race thanks to a technical problem with his RP20, Hulkenberg squeezed every ounce of performance from the car to seal third on the grid for Sunday's race at Silverstone.
