Formula One leader Lewis Hamilton took pole position for the Spanish Grand Prix on Saturday with teammate Valtteri Bottas completing the Mercedes front row lockout at the Circuit de Catalunya.

The pole was a record-extending 92nd for the six-time world champion Hamilton, who has won the last three Spanish GPs.

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, Hamilton’s closest challenger in the standings, will start in third place with Mexican Sergio Perez lining up fourth for Racing Point on his return after missing two races due to COVID-19.
