Bottas's 13th career pole, and first since the Austrian season-opener last month, ended six-times world champion Hamilton's bid for a fourth in a row and second at home on successive weekends.
The front row lockout was a record-extending 67th for Mercedes, who have taken every pole so far this season and won four out of four."Valtteri did a fantastic job today. Just a bit too quick for me," said the Briton, who leads his team mate by 30 points and looks set to equal Michael Schumacher's record of 155 podiums on Sunday.
"Last week, or last weekend, was really extreme," he said."To come back in the paddock without any preparation, 10 minutes before the session, was challenging to say the least but good fun at the same time.
