Lewis Hamilton topped a close fight with
Formula 1 rivals
Nico Rosberg and
Sebastian Vettel to claim pole position for the
Canadian Grand Prix.
Hamilton ended the session just 0.062 seconds clear of
Mercedes team-mate Rosberg, with
Vettel's
Ferrari just 0.116s further back in third. Reigning world champion Hamilton held on to top spot despite failing to improve on his second run in Q3 at the
Montreal F1 circuit.
Rosberg messed up his second run at the first corner so also failed to improve, while Vettel cursed losing some traction at the hairpin on his final flying lap. He broke into the 1m12s, but it wasn't quite enough to break Mercedes' hegemony.
Daniel Ricciardo qualified his
Red Bull fourth fastest, less than two tenths slower than Vettel. Ricciardo's Red Bull team-mate
Max Verstappen was fifth, ahead of
Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari, which only completed one run in Q3 and rounded out the top six.
The two
Williams cars of
Valtteri Bottas and
Felipe Massa were seventh and eighth, with
Bottas less than a tenth away from beating fellow
Finn Raikkonen.
Nico Hulkenberg's
Force India was almost two tenths further back from
Massa in ninth, while
Fernando Alonso's McLaren-Honda rounded out the top 10.
Alonso made Q3 for the third race in succession by bumping
Sergio Perez out of the top 10 in the closing moments of Q2, so the second Force India ended up
11th fastest. The second McLaren-Honda of
Jenson Button was fractionally quicker than Alonso in the first two sectors of his final lap in Q2, but he dropped time in the final sector and wound up 12th - blaming a lack of a tow on the run from the hairpin.
Daniil Kvyat's
Toro Rosso was just 0.020s slower in
13th, ahead of
Haas pairing
Esteban Gutierrez and
Romain Grosjean, who were separated by 0.232s. The second Toro Rosso of
Carlos Sainz Jr ended up slowest in Q2 after he clouted the wall of champions at the end of his first proper flying lap, causing the session to be red flagged while marshals craned away his broken car.
Jolyon Palmer had earlier come within 0.015s of stealing the final Q2 spot from Grosjean, but had to settle for 17th place in his
Renault. He was 0.140s ahead of the impressive
Pascal Wehrlein, whose
Manor was 15th fastest after his first run in Q1, but slipped back when others improved.
Wehrlein's hopes of improving himself were scuppered by team-mate
Rio Haryanto clouting the wall at the exit of the first chicane, which effectively curtailed the closing minutes of Q1.
Wehrlein at least remained ahead of both Saubers, with
Marcus Ericsson over a second clear of team-mate
Felipe Nasr, who had to rely on a slow first run in Q1 thanks to the timing of
Haryanto's crash. The second Renault of
Kevin Magnussen failed to participate in qualifying following his heavy crash in final practice, so he will start last on the grid with the stewards' permission.
