		</div><p>Lewis Hamilton has promised to bounce back from his qualifying mistake by winning Sunday&#8217;s German Grand Prix to remain in charge of the Formula One World Championship.</p>
<p>Hamilton has won five of the last six grands prix to overturn a 43-point deficit to his title rival Nico Rosberg.</p>
<p>But the defending champion, now six points ahead of Rosberg, will start Sunday&#8217;s race from second on the grid after a crucial error in qualifying paved the way for his Mercedes team-mate to claim pole position.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not down as I have got a race to win,&#8221; said Hamilton. &#8220;When any of you guys are p***** off with your own performance you are not happy, so it is not an emotional game.</p>
<p>&#8220;I brought it to qualifying, I was quickest at the end, and I didn&#8217;t deliver so that is something I have to handle and deal with. There is nothing I can do about the past, I am moving forward, and tomorrow I can make a difference, so I will.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hamilton, despite being slower than Rosberg in all three practice sessions here in Hockenheim, appeared likely to snatch pole away from his team-mate. But the British driver made a small mistake at the hairpin on his final timed run.</p>
<p>A naturally disappointed Hamilton added: &#8220;My mechanics are hoping to get pole. I have got my engineers here who work until 2am every night, so it is a lot of weight when you don&#8217;t deliver in the way they have delivered.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rosberg will start ahead of Hamilton for a second consecutive weekend, but while the Briton beat his team-mate on the run down to turn one in Hungary last Sunday, a shorter start here, ensures a repeat scenario is rather less likely.</p>
<p>Indeed, should Hamilton want to win, it is probable that he will have to overtake Rosberg at a later stage in the race with the odds of a collision between the pair becoming ever greater.</p>
<p>Formula One is back in Germany &#8211; a home race for Mercedes &#8211; following a one-year break, but Hamilton will not change his approach even though another crash would provoke huge embarrassment for the sport&#8217;s all-conquering team.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are paid to do a job,&#8221; Hamilton added. &#8220;I am going to drive just as I always have in my life. Me, Nico and the team have discussed and learnt from the things in the past so I don&#8217;t see tomorrow being an issue for either of us.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rosberg was forced to abandon his first timed run in the all-important last phase of qualifying with a minor electronic glitch. He returned to the track to steal pole in front of his home fans.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was one of the best-ever laps, especially considering the circumstances,&#8221; Rosberg said. &#8220;It was very satisfying.&#8221;</p>
<p>Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen locked out the second row for Red Bull while Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel will start fifth and sixth for Ferrari.</p>
<p>Jenson Button, given the all-clear to race after he was taken to hospital with an eye complaint on Friday night, will line up in 12th on the grid, while his McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso could manage only 14th. It is a display which is not likely to have pleased the team&#8217;s chairman Ron Dennis who arrived in the paddock on Saturday.</p>
