It is the 70th pole position of Lewis Hamilton'\s F1 career and number 84 for the Mercedes F1 team.
Vettel has to start from last place tomorrow. The engine in the back of his Ferrari failed during last practice and had to be replaced in 2 hours time.
The Ferrari mechanics finished there work exact at the start of qualifying to get Vettel on the track. During the first lap out he again had an issue with the engine and had to stop.
Kimi Raikkonen starts as 2nd for Ferrari. He almost scored a 2nd pole this season.
Max Verstappen gave himself a great brithday present. He will start on 3rd grid slot by beating his teammate Daniel Ricciardo, who will start on 4th place, on his 20th birthday.
