SHANGHAI, (Reuters) - Nico Rosberg was frustrated at missing out on pole “in the blink of a bad eye” on Saturday after his best qualifying performance of the season at the Chinese Grand Prix.

Rosberg qualified second behind team mate Lewis Hamilton who led a front-row lockout for Mercedes, but was unable to prevent the Briton from taking his third successive pole by just four hundredths of a second.
