Lewis Hamilton roared to a record-breaking sixth British Grand Prix pole on Saturday and then cheered on England's World Cup quarter-final win in Russia.
In a keenly-fought qualifying shootout in sweltering conditions, the Englishman, in a Mercedes, secured pole by outpacing Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari by just 0.044 seconds.
Soon afterwards, he pulled on an England football shirt and celebrated with compatriots in his Mercedes team offices as England reached the World Cup semi-finals with a 2-0 win over Sweden in Samara.
Hamilton posted a picture on Twitter and added: "YES!!! Get in!!! Keep pushing boys. Let's make this an unforgettable day for English sport."
The world champion, who trails Vettel by one point in the drivers championship, paid tribute to the crowd at Silverstone.
