    Red Bull driver Mark Webber edged out teammate Sebastian Vettel in qualifying for the second time this season to secure pole position Saturday for the British Grand Prix amid a row about aerodynamic improvements.

    Chasing his second consecutive victory at Silverstone, Webber clocked 1 minute, 30.399 seconds to top Vettel, who timed 1:30.431 in light showers.

    After winning six of the eight races this season and starting from pole seven times, Vettel has a 77-point lead over McLaren's Jenson Button, who qualified in fifth, and Webber.
