REUTERS: Six-times Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton lived up to his rain master reputation with an astonishing lap to put his Mercedes on pole position for the first Styrian Grand Prix at Austria's Red Bull Ring on Saturday.
"What a tricky day," said the champion after a performance that his team boss Toto Wolff hailed as simply out of this world."The weather was incredibly difficult out there for all of us. A lot of the time you couldn't even see where you were going. The champion, who can move a step closer to Michael Schumacher's all-time record 91 wins on Sunday, made sure pole was his with an extraordinary final effort of one minute 19.273 seconds."When you look at the onboard from his lap, he was balancing the car on the edge, aquaplaning, throttle control was incredible.LECLERC PENALTY
Australian Daniel Ricciardo, suffering a sore knee after a crash in Friday practice, will line up eighth for Renault and McLaren's Lando Norris ninth after a three place grid penalty incurred in Friday practice.
