Lewis Hamilton takes pole position for the Spanish Grand Prix, edging team mate Nico Rosberg into second

Relive the final moments of a riveting qualifying hour for the Spanish GP as Lewis Hamilton grabbed pole position.

The world champion had wrecked his first lap at the start of Q3 with a mistake to leave him staring another defeat to team-mate and title leader Nico Rosberg in the face.

But in sublime fashion, Hamilton hit back in the final seconds of the qualifying hour to claim his third pole of the season - while Daniel Ricciardo, restricted to just a single lap in Q3, just pipped new Red Bull team-mate Max Verstappen to third on the grid.
