  3. Pole position 'a blessing' - Hamilton

    This had looked like it might be a straightforward - even uninteresting - grand prix: two Ferraris at the front controlling the race on the way to an easy one-two.

    But the rain on Saturday changed all that. Now the Ferraris are on the second row, and the Mercedes, which were struggling in the dry through practice, are on the front. The question is, can Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas and their team stay there?

    Pole, Hamilton said, was “quite a blessing”. "It will mean it’s probably a close race between us all but getting through the stint is going to be key, not going over the temperature limits that we have been facing.

    "Yeah. It’s going to be close. I can’t really tell you what’s going to happen. Just got to get our heads down and keep trying to pull away. We’re going to work hard together as a team to try to keep the red behind us.”

  4. 'Great work by the team'

  9. Hamilton masters wet conditions to take pole - read the report

    Lewis Hamilton took pole position in an enthralling wet qualifying session for the Hungarian Grand Prix.

    The rain gave Mercedes the chance to upend the form book after Ferrari appeared set for pole in the dry.

    Hamilton headed team-mate Valtteri Bottas by 0.260 seconds, while title rival Sebastian Vettel could manage only fourth, behind Ferrari team-mate Kimi Raikkonen.

    Hamilton leads Vettel by 17 points in the championship heading into the race. Ferrari dominated the earlier practice sessions, as the Mercedes drivers struggled with a lack of rear grip in hot, dry conditions, with both spinning at the chicane in final practice.

    But a rain storm before qualifying doused the track and Hamilton was able to take advantage and what could be a crucial pole on a track where overtaking is notoriously difficult.

  10. So, in case you missed it, let's have a quick look back at a chaotic qualifying yesterday.

  11. Thanks for joining us

    Hello and welcome along to BBC Sport's live text commentary of the 12th race of the 2018 Formula 1 season.

    I'm Michael Emons and will be guiding you through the race today.

    It is a front row lockout for Mercedes with Ferrari, who showed good pace in the dry during the practice sessions, on the second row.

    This season has been far from predictable so let's hope for more shocks and surprises today.

  12. Anything could happen

    Lewis Hamilton won from 14th last time out at the German Grand Prix, but now the world champion and 2018 championship leader has no-one in front of him after a stunning performance in a wet and chaotic qualifying on Saturday.

    For his title challenger Sebastian Vettel, things have not gone so well recently. A crash when leading in Hockenheim lost him his world title lead and he could only come fourth in qualifying yesterday after impressing in the previous three practice sessions.

    Can Vettel retake the championship lead today? This season, you just don't know what is going to happen next.
