Summary
Six cars from Williams, Audi and Alpine were eliminated in SQ2 at Silverstone, with Gasly 11th, Bortoleto 12th, Hulkenberg 13th, Colapinto 14th, Sainz 15th and Albon 16th.
A 1:29.482 lap left Gasly just 0.018 seconds short of the projected cutoff, while none of the bottom six improved enough on their final runs to dislodge Norris from the top 10.
Lawson jumped to fourth with a 1:29.067 and Lindblad reached eighth, tightening the midfield battle as Russell survived in 10th after briefly sitting on the bubble.
Earlier in SQ1, Bearman missed progression by 0.010 seconds as Ocon, Perez, Bottas, Alonso and Stroll also went out, underscoring how little separated the lower half of the field.
