Finnish driver of Mercedes Valtteri Bottas on Saturday beat his team-mate Lewis Hamilton to secure the top position by the tiniest of margins at the British Grand Prix, reported British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).

Bottas beat the world champion by just 0.006 seconds as Hamilton just failed to make up on his second lap for a mistake on his first run in the final session, said the BBC report.

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc was a threat but ended up just 0.079secs behind in third.

The Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Pierre Gasly pushed Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel down to sixth place.
