German Grand Prix: Mercedes star Valtteri Bottas previews race
Formula 1 leader Lewis Hamilton seized pole position for Mercedes in their 200th race at the German Grand Prix yesterday after both Ferrari drivers were sidelined by engine problems.
The five-time world champion lapped the Hockenheim circuit in one minute 11.767 seconds for a record-extending 87th career pole and his fourth of the season.
The Briton was comfortably quicker than Max Verstappen, who will start alongside the 34-year-old on the front row in his Red Bull.
Valtteri Bottas, 39 points behind Hamilton in the standings after 10 of 21 races, qualified third in the other Mercedes.
"Lewis, this is Toto. You never stop to amaze us," team principal Toto Wolff, whose employers are also celebrating their 125th year in motorsport with a retro livery and team clothing, told him over the team radio.
Ferrari, who had been fastest in both Friday and Saturday practice with Charles Leclerc, could only lick their self-inflicted wounds.
It all went wrong when it mattered for the sport's most successful and glamorous team, with home favourite Sebastian Vettel the first casualty when he failed to set a time in the opening phase.
The German, hoping for a happier homecoming than last year when he crashed out of the lead from pole, will start last after a problem with the airflow to the car's turbo.
Leclerc then failed to make it out of the pits in the final top 10 shootout due to a fuel system issue.
