The German Grand Prix qualifying session was presented earlier today on the Hockenheim circuit. The points leaders who are tied at the halfway point of the season, Lewis Hamilton, Felipe Massa, and Kimi Raikkonen, battled for the pole.
After the third and final leg of the session, Lewis Hamilton, in his McLaren-Mercedes, had registered the best time of the leading trio.
The British driver edged the Ferrari driven by Felipe Massa by less than two tenths of a second. The second McLaren-Mercedes, driven by Heikki Kovalainen, will start from the third position.
Kimi Raikkonen was very competitive in the early portions of the session but will have to start from the sixth position. We can speculate and guess that his Ferrari had more fuel on board.
As for the underdogs, Jarno Trulli in his Toyota placed fourth while the Red Bull racing machines are both positioned in the top 10.
Top 10 on the grid for tomorrow's German Grand Prix:
Pole: Lewis Hamilton (McLaren) 1:15.666
2-Felipe Massa (Ferrari) 1:15.859
3-Heikki Kovalainen (McLaren) 1:16.143
4-Jarno Trulli (Toyota) 1:16.191
5-Fernando Alonso (Renault) 1:16.385
6-Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari) 1:16.389

I think there's is only one mighty silver arrow, and that is the guy with yellow helmet. The other one...my Finn, well he can take care of himself.
It's kinda cold here now, so i think we may expect some little rain, spins, so let's wait and see what will happen.
