Valtteri Bottas beat Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton to take pole position for the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Saturday. The Finnish driver set a lap record on the 5.6-kilometer (3.5-mile) Yas Marina circuit, clocking 1 minute, 36.231 seconds. "I've only won once from pole, but I've had not had so many poles," said Bottas, who won the Austrian GP from the front in July. Hamilton set a lap record in the first part of qualifying — known as Q1 — before Bottas went even faster. Hamilton was fastest in Friday's second practice, breaking the lap record set by Vettel in P1.
