Hamilton
Lewis Hamilton recorded his sixth pole position, moving up to 33rd on the all-time table. Hamilton has also recorded the highest number of pole positions in 2007, six, ahead of Felipe Massa, with five.
Hamilton's pole was the eighth of the season for McLaren, who did not have as many poles in a season since 1999, when at the end of the year they had a total of 11 poles.
Hamilton failed to capitalise the advantage of starting from pole, when he spun off on the pit-lane entry on lap 31.
