[trumperZ06]

:D Today Lewis Hamilton qualified on pole at the Canada Grand Prix.

Qualifying for the two front rows shows us...

1. Lewis Hamilton

2. Ferando Alonso

3rd. Nick Heidfeld

4th. Kimi Raikkonen

;) Everyone will be closely watching the 1st lap tomorrow.... especially the 1st corner.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

May it be the first of many :D

[pino]

Amazing performance...congrats to him :up:

[Zico]

Dont know what all the fuss is about.. hes no shoemaker, calls the back of the grid drivers monkeys and hasnt won a race... :p

Well done Lewis.. was only a matter of time, the 1st of many I hope also..

ROCK!!

:D

[donKey jote]

Great stuff :D

[Corny]

is he the youngest poleholder?

[Zico]

is he the youngest poleholder?


Nope.. Fernando is at 21 Years of age.. in Malaysia I think?

[trumperZ06]

;) Rubens was two months younger than LH is today...

when he qualified on the pole back in 1994 in Spa.

:D So that makes Hamilton the second youngest to have acheived a Pole position in Formula 1.

May it be the first of many :D


I am sure that it will be.

[Ian McC]

Great performance again by Lewis, looking forward to tomorrow now :D

[VkmSpouge]

It was a very good performance by Lewis Hamilton, hopefully his race will match his qualifying.

[race aficionado]

The Lewis Hamilton adventure continues.


How can you not sit down and enjoy.

3rd Youngest. Rubens Barrichello was 22 (about a month or two younger than Lewis) in Spa 1994 - But Alonso was 21 in Malaysia 2003 so he takes the cake here.

A sterling job by Lewis but I still think Fernando will be up front on race day - without his little oopsie he would definitely have been on pole.

[wedge]

Did Lewis say ''shoot'' or "sh*t" in the press conference?

It sounded a lot like the latter?


It is, especially when you do a very very neat lap and you know it's going to be quick and you're coming up to that last corner at 210 or whatever you're doing and you think…shoot, just don't mess it up.

[tinchote]

Great job by LH. Well, I guess, since I didn't watch the qualy ;)

Anyway, he was also fastest in Q2, if I'm not wrong. Good job :up:

[PSfan]

Congrats go to Hamilton, now if he can stay there and win, that would make me, and my FGP team happy :cheese:

Should be interesting to see if McLeran do any funny business with pit strategy, Ron has already said that he who qualifies best, gets first choice at pit strategy...

.......... Ron has already said that he who qualifies best, gets first choice at pit strategy...


Alonso is heavy than Lewis which can give him a little bit competitive advantage to build up the gap and try to pass Lewis during the pit!

But the Kid will get the pressure of the monkeys behind him (Alonso, Kimmi and Massa)!! I am impatient to see how he gonna handle this tomorrow.

Congratulations to him!!!!!

LH gets Pole! Brilliant.......

You missed it Tin. Sometimes I think qualis are more interesting than races this season!

Yepp, he was fastest in Q2 as well by something like 0.008 It would have been that close between them again in Q3 if Alonso hadn't stuffed it.

[Kevincal]

My cable went out during qualy's...how nice... :(

[Racehound]

LH gets Pole! Brilliant.......
anyone got a fly-swatter??? ;)

[raikk]

It's an honor for this young lad to get his first pole position in my country.. well done Lewis I will deffinetly be rooting for your first win good luck!

[wmcot]

Wow, 2 weeks ago we had LH "commenting" on being "Number 2" and RD admitting to "team strategy" then at the next race suddenly Lewis pops out at the top of the time sheets in qualifying...curiouser and curiouser...

Yep.. heavier Fuel load role reversal ? Will be interesting to see how Lewis handles it if that is the case..

Must be a nightmare for Ron trying to keep a 2 x WDC happy along with the hottest property in F1 at the moment.

He's dealing with Senna vs. Prost version 2 with his current chums.

I am not a fan of Hamilton, but well done for him!

[ioan]
