Hamilton After Pole: "Still a Bizarre Feeling"

Lewis Hamilton has secured pole position at Albert Park for the seventh time in his F1-career, but he has said that pushing himself to his limits to secure the fastest time out of everyone is still a "bizarre feeling"

The gap between Hamilton's Mercedes and the Ferrari's and Red Bulls looked minimal until Lewis Hamilton stamped his authority on the Saturday in his last lap. The man from Stevenage squeezed an impressive 1:21.164 out of his Mercedes, seven-tenths of a second quicker than second-placed Kimi Raikkonen.

"The Ferrari's are very close to us," Hamilton said after the qualifying was over.

After all these years of winning, one might think that Hamilton might take another pole position for granted, but the Brit said otherwise.
