Heikki Kovalainen has captured his first Formula One pole position as fastest qualifier for Sunday's
British Grand Prix.

The McLaren driver, who has not won a Formula One race, crossed the line Saturday more than half a second faster than Red Bull's Mark Webber.

Last year's British GP winner and world champion Kimi Raikkonen was third fastest ahead of home favorite Lewis Hamilton, whose bid to capture pole was hampered when he skidded off the circuit at a lefthand bend. (***)
