Starting grid
Lots of question marks for the race
The chance of rain falling on the Nürburgring during the race seems very small, but that doesn't mean that the Grand Prix won't bring any surprises. Although the starting grid looks very familiar - with Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton at the front, followed by Max Verstappen - there is certainly no guarantee that that order will also be the final result.
Due to rain and low cloud, the teams only had one hour to prepare for qualifying and the race. This means that they have gambled with the setup of the car, and the teams are far from clear about how the tyres will behave during the race. Will it be a one or two stop? What is the best tyre to use? It's pure guesswork for now.
There are also a few chances for potentially great battles in the race. Max Verstappen has shown in qualifying that he can battle with the Mercedes cars, Charles Leclerc has qualified ahead of Alexander Albon with an excellent lap and in the midfield, it has been one big battle all season. So don't miss any of the action at the Nürburgring in the live blog below.
