Rosberg beats Hamilton to start on pole at home GP

Home favourite Nico Rosberg will start on pole for Sunday's German Grand Prix after edging out his title rival Lewis Hamilton.

Rosberg, six points behind Hamilton in the championship, had been fastest in all three practice sessions at Hockenheim, and he made it count where it matters to secure his second pole in as many grands prix.

Daniel Ricciardo qualified third for Red Bull while his team-mate Max Verstappen will start from fourth.
