ROSBERG WILL START FROM POLE IN HUNGARIAN GP

BUDAPEST, Hungary — Nico Rosberg of Mercedes will start from pole position at the Hungarian Grand Prix, ahead of teammate Lewis Hamilton and Daniel Ricciardo of Red Bull.

Rosberg’s fourth pole of the season — and 26th of his career — was confirmed later Saturday by officials after reviewing whether the overall leader had slowed down enough during a yellow flag situation.

Qualifying was hampered by heavy rainfall, which delayed the start by 20 minutes.
