BARCELONA - Formula One championship leader Valtteri Bottas beat Mercedes team mate Lewis Hamilton to pole position by a massive margin at the Spanish Grand Prix on Saturday with rivals Ferrari trailing behind.
That was a hefty 0.634 quicker than Hamilton’s best effort, dashing the five-times world champion’s hopes of record-extending 85th career pole. “The season has started well, the way I hoped for and I feel better and better in the car so I look forward to tomorrow,” added the Finn, who will be chasing his third win of the season on Sunday.
Hamilton said his laps in the final phase of qualifying could have been better, with a scrappy first effort kicking up gravel, but the upgrades brought by Mercedes to the start of the traditional European part of the campaign were working well. “It’s great for the team to have this one-two so we’ll try and convert that into a one-two and if I can reverse it I’ll be happy.”Mercedes have won the first four races one-two, a record start for any team, despite Ferrari setting the pace in pre-season testing at the Circuit de Catalunya.
Red Bull’s Pierre Gasly qualified sixth with the Haas pair of Romain Grosjean, yet to score a point this year, and Kevin Magnussen seventh and eighth on the grid.
