Follow German Grand Prix qualifying live
Motorsinside.com brings you live commentary on qualifying at Hockenheim. Who will take the last pole position before the summer break?
Several battles on different levels will rage in this early German afternoon.
At the very top of the timesheet, the two Mercedes seem untouchable.
After being deprived of the lead in the drivers’ standings, Nico Rosberg is backed against the wall. At his home race, the driver with number 6 aims to thrill the Stadium and especially to secure the highly coveted Pole position. Lewis Hamilton can continue his strong momentum with his five victories in the last six races. Furthermore, let’s not forget that the Englishman has a score to settle after a controversial qualifying session last week at the Hungaroring.
Just behind, the Red Bulls and Ferraris are set to compete for third place. Is aiming higher a utopian dream?
Let’s remember that Daniel Ricciardo positioned himself within less than a tenth of the Mercedes this Saturday morning.
Behind, the fans will watch with interest the evolution of the McLarens, which are gradually climbing back: Q3 would be a nice reward for Alonso (who just celebrated his 35th birthday) and Button, who was quickly hospitalized last night due to an eye problem, but will indeed fight for his chances of success at the wheel of the Woking team.
