Lewis Hamilton will start Sunday’s German Grand Prix from the front after problems in Saturday’s qualifying sidelined both Ferrari drivers, leaving the the way clear for the Briton to sweep to an unchallenged pole position.

The five time world champion lapped the 4.5-kilometer long Hockenheim circuit in one minute, 11.767 seconds, comfortably beating Max Verstappen, who will start alongside the 34-year-old on the front row in his Red Bull, the pair lining up next to each other at the front for the first time.
