Nico Rosberg took his first pole position of the season in China, where Lewis Hamilton hit unreliability problems and will start from last. The world champion failed to set a time during Q1 as Mercedes battled ERS problems on his hybrid power unit that left him down on power.Hamilton was already set to take a five-place grid penalty for changing his gearbox, but now has a mammoth task on Sunday starting from 22nd. You can overtake here, the tyres wont last as well. Ill give it everything Ive got, Hamilton told Sky Sports F1.The one silver lining for the Mercedes driver is he has plenty of new tyres available for the race. Lewis Hamilton will start the Chinese GP at the back of the grid after mechanical problems hampered his qualifying Starting from pole, Rosberg will have the advantage of starting on soft compound tyres after gambling on making it into Q3 on the slower tyres during Q2.The pressure was on at the beginning of Q3 when Kimi did a good time, Rosberg told Sky Sports F1.It is good that I am starting on the softs, Im not sure what is planned after that, but I think the plan is not to use the supersofts. After team-mate Lewis Hamilton failed to make it out of Q1, Mercedes Nico Rosberg secured pole He will be joined on the front row by Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo, whose smile was even wider than normal after a shock result.Where on earth that came from? Im quite shocked actually, to qualify on the front row is an incredible performance, Red Bull boss Christian Horner told Sky Sports F1. Ferrari, who had looked the team to beat throughout practice, had to settle for the second row of the grid. Kimi Raikkonen will start third and Sebastian Vettel fourth after an action-packed session which more than justified the return to the 2015 qualifying format.We saved a set of tyres, I was confident that I could make it on the last lap, but I didnt, Vettel told Sky F1.I wasnt happy with the lap, I made a couple of small mistakes here and there that cost me quite a lot of time. Valtteri Bottas was fifth for Williams, ahead of Daniil Kvyat, Sergio Perez and the Toro Rosso pair of Carlos Sainz and Max Verstappen.Nico Hulkenberg did make it into Q3, but his front left wheel came loose and bounced down the track late in Q2, forcing him to stop the car, ruling him out of the top-10 shootout. He was handed a three-place grid penalty for an unsafe release. Nico Hulkenbergs Chinese qualifying comes to an abrupt end after the front left tyre of his Force India comes off and hits the safety barriers. That incident caused a late red flag in Q2 and with only just over a minute left on the clock meant those in the drop zone were unable to post another time.Arrgh, arrgh, exclaimed a frustrated Fernando Alonso over the radio when told he wouldnt get one final attempt at a spot in Q3.The Spaniard qualified 12th, one spot above team-mate Jenson Button after McLaren sent both their drivers out on used tyres for their initial runs, before being forced to abort their laps on new supersofts. They will both move up one spot thanks to Hulkenbergs penalty.Both McLarens had the potential to be in Q3, we didnt use the new tyres, the full engine power, we were waiting on that final lap and we never started it, Alonso later told Sky Sports F1. Pascal Wehrlein hits a bump near the start-finish line and ends up in the wall causing a red flag during qualifying Q1 was delayed by over 20 minutes when Pascal Wehrlein hit the wall on the pit straight after losing control of his Manor.The German opened his DRS just before hitting a wet patch of track below the media centre bridge. That lack of rear grip combined with a bump on the track sent his Manor spearing into the wall.The marshals then attempted to dry the track using sweepers, but had little impact on the conditions.Embarrassingly for Renault, who have senior management present in Shanghai, both cars went out in the first part of qualifying, along with the Haas of Esteban Gutierrez and the Manor of Rio Haryanto.

BOSTON -- The organization that unsuccessfully tried to bring an IndyCar race to Boston has filed for bankruptcy, saying it has almost $9 million in liabilities and about $60,000 in assets.Boston Grand Prix said in its bankruptcy filing Tuesday that its liabilities include $1,677,894.77 owed to people who bought tickets for the race, which was supposed to be held over Labor Day weekend.The tickets went on sale in March, but the race was canceled in April with organizers saying the city was making unreasonable demands. City officials, in turn, said the race course group was disorganized.Creditors include several former sponsors of the race and the Indianapolis-based national IndyCar organization, which says it is owed $4.2 million.The race organizers also list a prepayment to IndyCar of $487,500. In addition, it had prepaid the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority $98,740 for what it says was 10 percent of the fee of its license agreement with the state.The filing wont stop the pressure from Massachusetts attorney general Maura Healey, whose office has put race organizers and IndyCar on official notice that a lawsuit could be filed despite the bankruptcy.Boston Grand Prixs bankruptcy filing today does nothing to prevent us from our continued efforts to find out where the money ticket holders spent has gone and to aggressively pursue a refund for those consumers, said Cyndi Roy Gonzalez, a spokesperson for Healey. We will continue to seek information from all parties involved and take whatever action is necessary to get the money back for those who purchased tickets.ddddddddddddace organizers said they regretted filing for bankruptcy but it was their only option.Due to events and circumstances beyond BGPs control, the race event was cancelled by the City and IndyCar without regard to the impact on ticket holders and other affected parties, Boston Grand Prix said in a statement. Since that cancellation, BGP has worked to return money to ticket holders including an immediate payment of $400,000. However, it has become clear that a full refund will not be possible without the cooperation of third parties, including IndyCar and others who have been unwilling to participate.BGP hopes that the present filing may provide a forum for an orderly disposition and administration of claims to provide as full a return as possible to the ticketholders and all other impacted parties.Among notable creditors listed in the filing for sponsorship fees: computer connectivity company LogMeIn ($390,000), tire company Bridgestone ($223,550), fuel and oil company Global Partners ($275,000), MillerCoors ($105,000), wine and spirits company Pernaud Ricard ($100,000), car dealer Herb Chambers ($100,000) and New Balance ($50,000). They also owe George R. Roberts Company $645,579 for concrete barriers and Firestone $223,500.ESPN Staff Writer Bob Pockrass and The Associated Press contributed to this report. ' ' '
