Valtteri Bottas takes pole position for the Eifel Grand Prix. The Finn says his only goal is to turn this pole into Sunday's win. He beat his teammate Lewis Hamilton, who seemed faster in qualifying.

Aiming to win

"It's such a nice feeling to get it on the last lap and on the last chance. So, the last lap in Q3 was spot on and it was nice to get it together but seemed pretty tricky with short practice and getting the tyres in the sweet spot which was one of the bigger things today," says Bottas after qualifying.

"We were leaving the same time out of the garage but it was his time to go first, but there are different things that you can do on the outlap. Ultimately got the tyres there and the lap was good. Hopefully, we can have a good start," Bottas added.
