The driver of the No. 6 Mercedes AMG Petronas car won his fifth straight pole with a time of 71.282 and a speed of 138.198 mph. He said afterwards that qualifying was "an area that I had to work on, so I have been working on it through the season. But I don't have a direct explanation, a precise thing I've done different."
The driver of the No. 44 Mercedes AMG Petronas car capitalized on the mechanical failure of teammate and pole sitter Nico Rosberg to score his 42nd career win in Formula 1.
This is the 18th career pole for the driver of the No. 6 Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team and third of the 2015 season. He'll be joined on the front row by teammate, points leader and defending race winner Lewis Hamilton.
It is the greatest day on the motorsports calender. We begin in southern Europe, head over to the Midwest United States, then back to stock car’s heartland in the southeast.
