adminNico Rosberg edged Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton to take pole position at the Canadian Grand Prix.
The German was faster by just 0.079 seconds as the Mercedes team continued to compete on a level above the rest.
Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel took a surprise third ahead of the Williams of Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa.
Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo was sixth, with Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso seventh from Toro Rosso’s Jean-Eric Vergne and McLaren’s Jenson Button.
Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen rounded out the top 10, 0.4secs slower than his team-mate.
Rosberg’s pole will be a blow to Hamilton, who went to Canada determined to avenge his controversial defeat in Monaco.
Hamilton had looked marginally the quicker through the weekend on a track where he had never before been beaten by a team-mate in qualifying.
But after Hamilton set the pace in the first two parts of qualifying, Rosberg beat him by 0.068secs on their first runs in the top 10 shoot-out. — BBC Sport
