Mercedes was on position of the pole thanks to Nico Rosberg. Cracking a season’s fifth with total nine of his career and coming fourth out of the last five races it was dream come true for Rosberg at German Grand Prix. For him it was a fantastic home race.
He got married last week and by fortune also signed contract of a new multi year with the Mercedes. He is also flanked by the German’s win in the soccer World Cup. A victory would put him in a first position to win a home Grand Prix since 1993 win by Rudolf Caracciola and also the first driver to win in Germany for Mercedes team in 60 years. In the final practice he was the quickest. Although it was Hamilton who was at the top till Friday but the duel about to take place between the two did not happen as he crashed heavily at Sachs Kurve in a section of the complex of stadium. So the session was stopped in the first phase of the qualifying.
The brakes used by Hamilton are different from that of Rosberg. Rosberg however, had to suffer his first blank two weeks ago in Britain. Fortunes did turn in for Rosberg at his home prix. Rosberg is the sole rival of title to Hamilton. It was a perfect week for Rosberg as by 14 point lead against Hamilton was disappointing for Hamilton. Rosberg would like to continue with his performance in the upcoming events and trying of winning more than nine in this year. Hamilton clearly has an arch rival in the name of Rosberg. It is going to be a rat race this year between the two. Despite the poor performance of Hamilton by no fault of his, he is still considered to be the favorite.
