Lewis Hamilton claims pole position in Austrian Grand Prix

World champion Lewis Hamilton mastered the changeable conditions to secure pole position for the Austrian Grand Prix today.

A rain shower before the final phase of qualifying at the Red Bull Ring led to a thrilling and unpredictable shoot-out for pole.

Nico Rosberg, who leads Hamilton in the championship by 24 points, posted the second fastest time on a drying track, but will be demoted five places on the grid after serving a penalty for a gearbox change.

As such, an impressive display by Nico Hulkenberg will see the Force India driver promoted to the front row with McLaren's Jenson Button to start an incredible third.
