F1 applauds Hamilton's incredible century of pole positions

Hamilton on his qualifying century

Facing the media after securing his landmark pole position, Hamilton said: "It’s natural when you’ve just got out of the car… it’s always difficult to assess in the moment but wow, I’ve been racing a long time and the 100 mark is something I don’t think anybody, and particularly me, thought I would ever get to that number.

"But when I think about it I just think about all the people that have helped me get there. It’s not only the amazing team I have here but it’s also the incredible group of men and women back at the factory, at both factories, who just never cease to amaze me, who continue to raise the bar.

"There are so many people we don’t get to see each other all the time but we are connected. There are these great debriefs that we have but this journey that we have been on all these years has been remarkable and it’s been so enjoyable and it’s crazy that it is 100 and it felt like one of the first.

"That for me is even more special. There have been so many qualifying sessions, so many near misses, so many mistakes and so many moments of growth and I love how close it is between us all. I think that’s great for the fans and I think that’s exciting for me also. And also the people that are only just behind us."
