Hamilton breaks Schumacher pole record
Pole position at the Italian Grand Prix sees Lewis Hamilton break Michael Schumacher's record of 68.
Lewis Hamilton went fastest in qualifying at the Italian Grand Prix on Saturday to surpass Michael Schumacher's record number of pole positions.
Mercedes driver Hamilton pulled level with the seven-time world champion on 68 in Belgium last time out and produced a time of one minute and 35.544 seconds to claim exclusive rights to the record in Monza.
The result, which came following a two-and-a-half-hour rain delay in Q1, represents a sixth Monza pole for Hamilton - more than any other driver.
