Lausitz DTM: Miguel Molina leads all-Audi top four on Saturday grid

Miguel Molina claimed his first pole position of the 2015 DTM season, as Audi locked out the front two rows of Saturday's Lausitzring grid

Molina set a pair of laps good enough for pole, with his best time of 1m17.438s securing top spot.

Practice pacesetter Jamie Green will start second, having lapped 0.121 seconds shy of Molina, while Edoardo Mortara and Mattias Ekstrom - the latter despite a spin - complete an all-Audi top four.

Last year's Lausitzring winner Pascal Wehrlein will start fifth for Mercedes, ahead of BMW's Marco Wittmann.

The reigning champion had an eventful session that included a spin, and he will visit the stewards for an alleged block on Timo Scheider during the opening minutes.

Robert Wickens, Maxime Martin, Tom Blomqvist and Paul di Resta complete the top 10 for Saturday evening's 40-minute race.

Like Wittmann, Augusto Farfus was reported to stewards for blocking, and spun on his way to 19th on the grid as 0.883s covered the top 22 drivers.

Adrien Tambay effectively sat out the session - turning only a single installation lap - and will start last.

Tambay would have started there anyway, due to an engine penalty incurred by Audi for engine repairs undertaken between events.

UPDATE: Stewards have handed Marco Wittmann and Augusto Farfus five-place grid penalties, and the pair will now start 11th and 23rd.
