German GP: Final starting grid

The German Grand Prix starting grid features only one change from the qualifying results, as Charles Pic's gearbox penalty drops him to the back of the field

The Caterham had originally qualified 19th.

At the front, Lewis Hamilton gave Mercedes another pole ahead of Red Bull duo Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber.

Hamilton's Silverstone-winning team-mate Nico Rosberg ended up only 11th after a tactical misjudgement in Q2.

Lotus enjoyed a qualifying resurgence with fourth and fifth, while Ferrari opted to run the harder medium tyres in Q3, consigning it to row four as Daniel Ricciardo continued to impress in sixth.
