Dominant Hamilton snatches Australian Grand Prix pole vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Mercedes’ world champion Lewis Hamilton picked up where he left off last year to reassert his authority and snatch a record-extending eighth pole position at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix on Saturday.The Briton clocked a fastest lap of one minute 20.486 to narrowly pip team-mate Valtteri Bottas, with Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel third, but a massive 0.704 seconds behind his arch-rival.
Hamilton, 34, is the pole master in Melbourne, claiming it eight times and every year since 2014, although he has only twice won a race at Albert Park, in 2008 and 2015. “Coming from Barcelona, we have made some really big steps in the past few days with the setup. And it seems to have worked,” he said.Bottas was equally stunned by their pace.
