HOCKENHEIM,Germany -- Nico Rosberg nailed his one and only attempt in Q3 in superb style to beat Lewis Hamilton to pole position at the German Grand Prix.After dominating the weekends practice sessions, Rosbergs qualifying appeared to be unravelling early in Q3 when an electronic issue cut his throttle and forced him to return to the pits. However, a quick reset in the pits allowed him to hit back with a 1:14.363 to take pole position in front of his home fans despite having enough fuel in the tank for two attempts. Hamilton improved on his second run but also locked a brake entering the Spitzkehre Hairpin, costing him 0.2s to Rosberg and, ultimately, pole position.Explaining Rosbergs issue to Sky Sports, Mercedes technical chief Paddy Lowe said: He had a couple of problems concurrently on that lap, which caused the engine to cut out, and it lost sync on all the gears. It corresponded also with a warning about his throttle pedal, which was actually not to do with it but I think that gave him a bit of a scare. Nobody likes to lose control of their throttle pedal.So he aborted the lap, which is a bit of a disturbance to your pattern in Q3, which is why I was particularly impressed that he went out there and got the pole time with that sort of disturbance and stress and also with two extra laps of fuel on board. It was giving him two chances so it was a great lap, he did a fantastic job.Although Mercedes locked out the front row, its margin over Red Bull was not as big as expected, with Ricciardo just 0.363s off despite aa botched middle sector on his final attempt.
