Lewis Hamilton reacts to his Eifel Grand Prix title win
Mercedes continued their 100 per cent pole record this season for the Eifel Grand Prix. Valtteri Bottas secured the front spot on the grid with a last lap blast on Saturday as Mercedes team-mate and Formula 1 championship leader Lewis Hamilton joined him on the front row at the Nurburgring. Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who had been on provisional pole after the first flying laps of the final session at the German track, qualified in third place with Ferrari's Charles Leclerc in fourth.
Bottas' pole was his third of 2020 and an 11th in as many races this season for Mercedes.
But it looked in the balance right to the end, when the Finn pulled out a big effort to beat Hamilton by 0.256 seconds.
"It's such a nice feeling when you get it on the last lap, with the last chance," said Bottas after celebrating his 14th career pole.
"The last lap in qualifying three was spot on, just what I needed. It was nice to get it together."

The Finn is 44 points behind six-times world champion Hamilton, who will still fancy his chances of equalling Michael Schumacher's all-time record of 91 career wins on Sunday.
Both drivers will start the race on the soft tyres.
"He's two tenths ahead, he did a great job so congrats to him," said Hamilton.
"Going around behind the safety car in these conditions is going to be tough. There's a lot to play for so I need to get my head down."

Verstappen said his car had started understeering just at the key moment.
"When it's so cold, when you're understeering you're graining the front tyres so basically eating up the rubber which cost me a bit of lap time," said the Dutch 23-year-old.
"We're getting closer towards Mercedes which I think is very positive."
