SILVERSTONE, England (AP) Defending four time champion Sebastian Vettel was one of three Germans who profited from anticipating drying track conditions in Saturday's dramatic qualifying for the British Grand Prix, in stark contrast to local hero Lewis Hamilton.
Vettel claimed second place on the grid in his Red Bull car and will start Sunday's race alongside compatriot and series leader Nico Rosberg of Mercedes with another German Nico Hulkenberg back in fourth for Force India.
All three jumped ahead of Mercedes' Hamilton in the final seconds after the British driver decided the track was too damp, or wet, for him to improve his best lap time.
Vettel says: ''I think England is the only country where you get these sort of conditions, but it worked out.''
