Sakhir: Mercedes locked out the front row for the Bahrain Grand Prix as Nico Rosberg claimed pole position on Saturday, qualifying ahead of team-mate Lewis Hamilton.
Rosberg's time of 1 minute, 33.185 seconds at the Bahrain International Circuit was a quarter of a second faster than Hamilton, who had to abandon his final flying lap after running wide.
Defending four-time Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel did not even make the final session of qualifying and will start from 10th on the grid - promoted one spot as his Red Bull team-mate Daniel Ricciardo, who qualified third, gets a 10-place grid penalty.
It was Mercedes' third straight pole to start the season but the first for Rosberg, who equaled his father Keke with five career poles.
