Hamilton ended the session 0.330 seconds quicker than the Ferrari driver after a series of blistering laps on a track where he has won five times in nine races. His pole is the 65th of his career, equalling his hero Ayrton Senna, just three behind all-time holder Michael Schumacher. After the session, Hamilton was presented with one of Senna's old helmets, a gift from the late Brazilian's family for equalling his record. "Wow," he said. "I'm shaking. Ayrton, I know for many of you was your favourite driver and he was for me. He inspired me to be where I am today so to receive this is the greatest honour."

Source: Forix [SIZE=4][B]A blistering lap Senna would have been proud of[/B][/SIZE] Hamilton, who is 25 points behind Vettel in the championship after finishing seventh in Monaco after a disappointing weekend, was clearly elated after the session in which he showed a superiority that was completely unexpected. Ferrari and Mercedes have been closely matched all weekend but Hamilton was in a league of his own once the top 10 shoot-out started. It was a gripping climax to qualifying. Hamilton produced a blistering lap of one minute 11.791 seconds, only for Vettel to set a time just 0.004secs slower than him.

The three-time champion and Vettel were each half a second quicker than their respective team-mates. Red Bull were best of the rest, as ever, Max Verstappen pipping team-mate Daniel Ricciardo for fifth place, with Williams' Felipe Massa seventh ahead of the Force Indias of Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon, and Nico Hulkenberg's Renault. The German's team-mate Jolyon Palmer, whose future at the team is in doubt, was down in 15th after being 0.7secs slower in second qualifying. Fernando Alonso was 12th on his return to Formula 1 after missing the Monaco Grand Prix to race in the Indianapolis 500, well ahead of team-mate Stoffel Vandoorne in 16th. Canadian rookie Lance Stroll struggled at his first home race, the 18-year-old 0.7secs off Massa in first qualifying and qualifying 17th.
