SUZUKA, Japan -- Nico Rosberg beat Lewis Hamilton to pole position at the Japanese Grand Prix by just 0.013s as the two Mercedes drivers went head to head in an incredibly tight battle at Suzuka.Rosberg, who leads Hamilton by 23 points in the drivers standings, hooked up a 1:30.647 on his second attempt after a small mistake on his first effort left him behind Hamilton for the first time this weekend. Hamilton was marginally quicker than Rosberg in the first sector on his second attempt, but the lap time leaked away in sectors two and three to give Rosberg his eighth pole position of the season.Calculated in distance, the gap between the two Mercedes drivers equates to just 82cm. Ferraris Kimi Raikkonen secured third place on the grid with a slender 0.079s advantage over Ferrari teammate Sebastian Vettel. The German will be demoted three places on the grid for the penalty he incurred on the first lap of the Malaysian Grand Prix last weekend.The two Red Bulls were a further 0.2s adrift in fifth and sixth, but were also incredibly close with Max Verstappen 0.062s ahead of teammate Daniel Ricciardo. Closest of all were Sergio Perez and Romain Grosjean, who set identical times down to one thousandth of a second. Perezs Force India will start ahead of the Haas driver because he set his lap time earlier in the session, but an eighth-place starting position still represents progress for Grosjean and the American team.Nico Hulkenberg took ninth place in the second Force India ahead of Esteban Gutierrez in the second Haas. The two Williams were knocked out in Q2 after Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa completed just one flying lap compared to their rivals two. Bottas had his entry to the first Degner compromised by traffic and then locked up in the final chicane, leaving him just 0.078s off Perezs Q2 time and a place in Q3.The two Toro Rossos will start a row behind the Williams after Daniil Kvyat took 13th and Carlos Sainz spun at Spoon on his second attempt to settle for 14th. Fernando Alonso took 15th for McLaren-Honda on the Japanese manufacturers home turf, ahead of Jolyon Palmer who made his first Q2 appearance since the Belgian Grand Prix. McLarens struggle on Hondas home turf was underlined by Jenson Button being knocked out in Q1 after setting a time 0.032s slower than teammate Alonso in Q1. It looked briefly as though Kevin Magnussen could knock both of the Honda-powered cars out in Q1, but ultimately he finished 0.204s shy of the cut for the second stage of qualifying.Marcus Ericsson will start 19th ahead of Felipe Nasr in 20th and Manors Esteban Ocon in 21st. Pascal Wehrlein was 0.208s slower than his teammate, but with a gearbox penalty hanging over him he was destined to start from last place regardless. Fake China Jerseys .
