The aftermath of the race had continued onto the grid of the British Grand Prix.
After the final round of pitstops, the running order of the top 10 was Alonso, Webber, Vettel, Massa, Räikkönen, Grosjean, Hamilton, Schumacher, Hülkenberg and Senna.
The 2012 British Grand Prix was the ninth race of the 2012 Formula One Season, which took place on the weekend of 6–8 July 2012 on the 2011 Arena layout of the Silverstone Circuit, the second running on this layout and 46th at Silverstone. The weather, already not good, took a turn for the worst for Q2. It was becoming a question of when, and not if, Webber would get past the Spaniard. To cover, on lap 29, Hamilton pitted, after a stint of just eight laps. Once out, many drivers were instructed by their teams to keep going with their flying laps, even if they felt they had been impeded by a slower car because the rapidly evolving nature of the circuit meant that they could still set a fast lap time. Even the wet tyre appeared to not be sufficient.
The session was red-flagged with just over six minutes remaining after four cars span off within the space of a minute, and The race also introduced a twist in the post-race television unilateral interview; instead of Webber, Alonso, and Vettel proceeding to the interview room in the media centre, On lap 14, Webber pitted, and on lap 15, Alonso pitted from the lead. Quite surprisingly considering the conditions, the first major incident happened in the last minute. The twenty-minute session began with all 24 drivers out on intermediates almost immediately. Räikkönen became the fastest driver on track. The full entry list for the 2012 British Grand Prix is shown below: After these changes, Hülkenberg fell to 14th, Kobayashi fell to 17th, Vergne fell to 23rd and Pic stayed 24th and last.

Grosjean also finds his way past the out-of-form Button, who pitted at the end of the lap.
After 90 minutes, the session started up again. With dryer conditions, the times started to tumble downwards. Alonso was trying to make his tyres last too long, and unfortunately paid the price. Button was 11th, followed by Kobayashi, Vergne, Ricciardo and Rosberg. Hamilton was fastest, leading The third and final session was declared dry, but was run under the threat of rain and saw plenty of activity as the teams pushed hard to make up for lost time running in the wet on Friday. The Q1 order was constantly changing, since the intermediate tyres were durable and thus drivers could perform a large number of laps on one set of tyres. Fourth was Massa, his best finish since his third place at the The Formula 1 Wiki is a FANDOM Lifestyle Community.Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. Grosjean finally pitted on lap 26.
Massa's teammate, Alonso, pitted for the option tyre on lap 37, meaning he had to survive 15 laps on the softer compound, which was unlikely to last the distance at full race pace. Eighth was Grosjean, who was attempting to complete two long stints and had only pitted once on lap three. Vettel pitted on lap 31, starting a string of pit stops by the front runners. On lap 47, Webber got the gap down to just half a second. The rain had only started falling five minutes or so after FP3 finished, but then stopped, before beginning again five minutes before Q1 started.
Massa and Räikkönen pitted a lap later. Qualifying started in wet conditions, and with the threat of more rain on the way, a queue of cars formed at the end of pit lane in the minutes before the session began.
As a consequence of the race, Webber narrowed Alonso's lead in the drivers' standings to 13 points. When Kobayashi pitted on lap 37, he entered his pit box with too much speed, going slightly wide, and clattering into his mechanics on the right-hand side, before knocking the front jack man off his feet. He fell behind Rosberg, but overtook the German into Copse. Thankfully, no-one was seriously injured. Back at the front, Alonso was pulling out a comfortable lead of about six seconds ahead of Webber.

Grosjean immediately starts attacking Hamilton, and he gets past on lap 35. Both Räikkönen and Schumacher pitted on lap 34, followed by Massa on lap 35.
