German GP: Qualifying - Re-Cap & Results

GERMAN GRAND PRIX - QUALIFYING

    It's Nico Rosberg who will start the German Grand Prix from Pole Position and Lewis Hamilton will start from 2nd, making it another Mercedes front-row lock out.

    Romain Grosjean was given a 5-Place-Grid-Penalty for a gearbox change following FP3. Nico Hulkenberg was given a 1-Place-Grid-Penalty for using inappropriately identified tyres in Qualifying and Carlos Sainz was handed a 3-Place-Grid-Penalty for impeding Felipe Massa during Qualifying.

HOW IT WORKS:

Q1 = 18 minutes. All cars allowed to go out. At the end of the session, the six slowest are eliminated.

Q2 = 15 minutes. The remaining cars go out. At the end of the session, the six slowest are eliminated.

Q3 = 12 minutes. Final 10 cars go out. The final order at the end of the session is how the grid will line up. Fastest car starts from Pole Position.
