Toto Wolff missed pole position feeling but it's a "shame for Lewis"

Valtteri Bottas' pole position for the United States Grand Prix gives Mercedes their first P1 on a Saturday since the German Grand Prix way back in the height of the summer.

Bottas finished just 0.012 ahead of Sebastian Vettel's P2 with a sublime lap in the first run of Q3. Team boss Wolff highlights Bottas' performance but also spares a thought for Hamilton who will start from fifth place.

"It was so tight you could see the were a few cars between the same tenths I'm very happy - it's good to be on pole again - shame for Lewis - we need to see what we can do tomorrow on strategy," Wolff told Sky Sports.
