ABU DHABI, November 24

Lewis Hamilton led a Mercedes front-row lockout with a blistering pole position at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Hamilton's pole lap of 1 minute, 34.794 seconds was also a track record. Finnish teammate Valtteri Bottas secured his front-row slot, last year's race winner being 0.162s off the pace, with the Ferraris of Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen filling the second row.

French Esteban Ocon put his Force India ninth on the grid and ahead of Nico Hulkenberg in 10th. Hamilton kissed his car after the session. "I'm so grateful for all the support we've had here. It's emotional for me because it's the last lap I'll do in this car,” he said. — Reuters
