Weather could play a major role in deciding the outcome of the Eifel GP after both practice sessions on Friday were cancelled due to heavy rain and fog.

Mercedes duo Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton will start the race from the front row after upsetting Red Bull's Max Verstappen in a closely-contested qualifying.

Charles Leclerc put in an impressive performance to qualify fourth-fastest for Ferrari, ahead of the second Red Bull of Alex Albon.

Nico Hulkenberg will deputise for Lance Stroll at Racing Point.
