Formula One leader Lewis Hamilton put Mercedes on pole position for their 200th race at the German Grand Prix on Saturday while engine problems dashed Ferrari’s hopes.

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen will share the front row alongside the five-times world champion, with Hamilton’s team mate Valtteri Bottas third.

Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel failed to set a time and will start last after a turbo-related problem while team mate Charles Leclerc was sidelined in the final phase and will line up 10th on the grid.
