MELBOURNE, Australia — Lewis Hamilton produced the fastest lap ever at the Australian Grand Prix to take pole position at the Formula One season opener for the sixth consecutive year. 1 position on the grid in Australia, matching Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna’s record for most pole positions at one F1 circuit. Valtteri did an exceptional job out there, so close.”Bottas was second in 1:20.598 and will start alongside Hamilton on the front row of the grid in Sunday’s Grand Prix. Hamilton’s 84th career pole position came as a surprise to nobody, particularly after his 11 GP wins in 2018 and complete domination of the end of last season. We have a good race car.
