Di Resta falls to fifth place after a late burst by Mercedes and Red Bull

Lewis Hamilton has claimed his fourth successive pole position in the final throes of an utterly dramatic helter-skelter qualifying session at Spa.
Jenson Button, meanwhile, was delighted with a sixth position which he felt was a fair reflection of McLaren's improved performance and pace this weekend, but there was more qualifying misery for Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso as the two title contenders were demoted to eighth and ninth respectively. Sundays tend to be a different matter, but in 2013 Saturdays have invariably been a two-driver battle - with Hamilton once again just ahead of Vettel as the first among equals of F1's pacesetters. PG
