^ stunning pictures!!

So... do we know if the Mercedes tires are going to be used
or if the "normal" tires are the options Pirelli is offering?

No special 'Merc spec' tires this race. But Merc didn't id this track as a risk for them in the first place so the regular tires may not be a issue for their car design problems. But we can hope!

Vettel takes home pole, #55 of his carreer:

Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel delivered a supreme final lap in a final blast in qualifying to claim pole position for his home German Grand Prix and with it triggering a huge cheer from the partisan crowd on hand to witness an intriguing duel in which title rivals Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton tripped up.

The car came to Vettel during the session when he found the sweet spot to deliver a stunning 1:11.212 in his final attempt to claim his 55th top spot start, the stands erupting with delight for the local hero.

It was a mighty effort three tenths quicker than his previous best and an outright record for the current layout of the legendary race track, and a whopping three seconds faster than pole set by Nico Rosberg in 2016 when F1 last visited.

Vettel said afterwards, “Thanks to the fans it was amazing to see so many Ferrari and German flags. It just kept getting better and I knew for the last lap I had a little bit more in more, I’m full of adrenaline but so happy.”

Hamilton out in Q1 after his off in turn 1 damages hydraulics. Will start 14th on the grid.

Toto: "The issue was that we seemed to have damaged a bit in the car jumping over the kerb and that caused a hydraulic leak."

Just spoke with Toto Wolff who confirmed that unfortunately that trip over the exit kerb at Turn 1 led to a drop in Hydraulic pressure and caused them to make the call for Lewis to stop the car. Going to be fun to see what he can do tomorrow! @C4F1

Should be an exciting race tomorrow with both Ricciardo and Hamilton starting way down the order. Hamilton could still get a podium and Ricciardo well into the top ten.

Ouch!! That sounds to me like a sore winner.
That's worse than a sore loser, to my mind!
