Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes), 2. WE MEET AGAIN: In an incident-packed qualifying session, Mercedes's Lewis Hamilton clinched his second successive pole position in the Austrian Grand Prix. In a qualifying session marked by rain and dramatic suspension failures, with the finger of blame pointed at new kerbs, Hamilton made no mistake for his 54th career pole and second in a row in Austria. Formula One World champion Lewis Hamilton took pole position for the Austrian Grand Prix on Saturday with Mercedes teammate and overall leader Nico Rosberg set to start seventh after a grid penalty. Force India’s Nico Hulkenberg joined the Briton on the front row, only his second career top-two start, although the German was under investigation by stewards for a possible flag infringement.
