Lewis Hamilton admits he ‘drove the nuts off’ his Mercedes to seal historic Portuguese GP pole as team dominate again

LEWIS HAMILTON “drove the nuts off” his Mercedes and will start his attempt to become F1’s most successful driver from pole position. Hamilton decided to string together three late flying laps and was 0.102seconds quicker than Bottas, who had until then topped every single session in Portimao. Hamilton said: “I can’t tell you how hard that was. “Valtteri’s been so quick this weekend, he’s topped every session but at the end, I chose to do three laps to give me a chance at beating his time. “That last lap, it got better and better as I went through it. “But practice sessions, being at the top, it doesn’t matter anyway. Always I try to reset from each session and focus on the coming one.
