Sebastian Vettel will start on pole tomorrow after being quickest in Qualifying for the German Grand Prix.
The German beat Valtteri Bottas in a highly entertaining Qualifying session for tomorrow’s race.
“It was amazing to see so much support here,” a delighted Vettel said to Sky Sports.
“The car just kept getting better. I’m still full of adrenaline, but so happy!”

Kimi Raikkonen finished third in Qualifying with Lewis Hamilton dropping out of Q1 with an issue.
Hamilton’s Q1 hydraulics problem meant the Mercedes driver could not carry on in today’s Qualifying.
Hamilton was told to stop by his team on the radio, and then what happened next was extraordinary.
The Brit, who signed a new contract on Thursday, got out of his car and attempted to push the car back to the pits!
This has a huge impact on tomorrow’s race as Hamilton will now start way down the grid.

Hamilton will be even more disappointed that Vettel managed to snatch pole off his team mate Bottas and set a new track record.
Hamilton had to essentially start down the grid at Silverstone and managed to get second place still, but even if the Brit does do that again, is it enough?
