MANAMA - Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton stormed to pole position for the Bahrain Grand Prix with a record lap in Saturday’s qualifying session ahead of team mate Valtteri Bottas who completed a front-row lockout for Mercedes.The Briton lapped the 5.4-kilometre floodlit Sakhir desert track in one minute, 27.264 seconds, beating his Finnish team mate by 0.289 seconds.
“I think with the pressure a little bit off it was a release to go and drive like that,” said Hamilton, who equalled Michael Schumacher’s record haul of seven championships at the last race, in Turkey.
Good job Hamilton. You keep driving that way, we'll keep watching you win. Best of luck in up coming race.
