F1 driver Hamilton grabs pole position for European GP
Britain driver Lewis Hamilton took pole position on Saturday as McLaren locked out the front row of the grid for the European Grand Prix. The 24-year-old Englishman dominated a tense and intriguing qualifying session run on the dusty streets around Valencia's Mediterranean port to outpace his Finnish team-mate Heikki Kovalainen. Brazilian Rubens Barrichello was third fastest for Brawn GP ahead of German Sebastian Vettel and championship leader Jenson Button of Britain in the second Brawn.
