Follow live coverage of the 2016 German Grand Prix from Hockenheim with F1i's live commentary page.

Nico Rosberg starts on pole position after an excellent performance in qualifying, with the German beating team-mate Lewis Hamilton by 0.1s despite only getting one run in Q3 due to an electronics issue. Hamilton starts alongside Rosberg, with the two Mercedes drivers separated by just six points in the drivers' championship.

Red Bull will look to put pressure on the championship leaders after showing competitive race pace on Friday, although a step forward in one lap pace in qualifying may have in impact on how quick Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen - third and fourth respectively - are in race trim.

The two Ferrari drivers start from row three with Kimi Raikkonen impressing as he had the edge over Sebastian Vettel throughout Saturday, while Force India and Williams will fight over fourth in the constructors' championship behind them.

Weather conditions are cooler than the rest of the weekend, with a lot of cloud cover and a slight risk of rain during the race.

F1i will bring you all the action as it happens from the race on Saturday afternoon, which starts at 14:00 local time. You can also get involved with any questions or comments for the team at Hockenheim.
