L.Hamilton on P1 @ Yas Marina!

Lewis Hamilton dominated Saturday's twilight qualifying in Abu Dhabi, topping all three sessions on his way to pole position.

The McLaren driver was one of the favourite to take pole position after a solid opening to the Yas Marina GP weekend. And he didn't disapponitment.

Hamilton set the pace in Q1 and Q2 before putting in a late effort to take pole position with a 1:40.948,

Sebastian Vettel, who is fighting Rubens Barrichello for second place in the Drivers' Championship, will start alongside Hamilton on the grid, although his 1:401.615 was almost seven-tenths off Hamilton's pace.

Mark Webber is third as he edged ahead of his team-mate's rival Rubens Barrichello as well as newly-crowned World Champion Jenson Button.

Jarno Trulli, Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld completed the top eight.
