Barcelona Qualifying: Hamilton on pole with Vettel very close

Lewis Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton powered to pole position in the Spanish Grand Prix, with Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel a mere five hundredth of a second shy of the top time  and will start the race on the front row.

Hamilton’s first flyer in Q3 was good enough to ensure he starts from the top spot the grid for the 64th time, while Vettel was left to rue a tiny error that might have made the difference between pole and second place on the grid..

Valtteri Bottas was third in the other Mercedes and will share the second row Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen.

Next up were the Red Bull duo with Max Verstappen a tad over three tenths of a second up on Daniel Ricciardo, an all blue third row for the race.

Star of the show in front of his home crowd was Fernando Alonso who wrestled the problematic McLaren-Honda to seventh on the timing screens after a frustrating Friday for the Spaniard.
