Currently, the Formula 1 Wm is not about which Formula 1 team goes to the pole or takes the victory, but which of the two Mercedes drivers does it, so superior this season is the Mercedesteam with Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton as drivers. This time the pole goes again to the German Nico Rosberg, who clearly beat Lewis Hamilton. The second row of the grid could be taken by the William team, which has strengthened again this season, followed by Alonso and Co. Vettel even had to settle for 9th place. The Swiss Suaber team will again start from the back of the grid and will probably not score any points in this race. All in all, spectators in Europe can expect an exciting race tomorrow morning in suzuka, Japan, with one burning question: which Mercedes driver will win the race, Rosberg or Hamilton?
