Lewis Hamilton took his third pole position of the season Saturday at the qualifying session for the Spanish Grand Prix. Hamilton has not yet won a race, but the pole position gives him a good chance in Sunday’s Grand Prix. All but one of the races in the history of the Spanish Grand Prix at Barcelona have been won from the front row, and all but one in the last ten years was won from pole position.
The series has returned to Europe for the first time this year, after having its first four races in countries as diverse as China and Bahrain.
