The Briton Lewis Hamilton has taken the pole position for the 2014 Chinese Gran Prix of Formula 1 after the qualifying that was done in wet conditions.
Another great qualifying session for the Mercedes boys who put Hamilton on pole position and Nico Rosberg on 4thposition behind of the Red Bull’s: Ricciardo and Vettel.
On Q1 we saw that Maldonado not take part in the session and this helped the Toro Rosso’s and the Sauber’s to pass to the Q2 least Esteban Gutierrez who are getting used us to see him at this position.
Q1 Eliminated: Gutierrez, Kobayashi, Bianchi, Ericsson, Chilton and Maldonado.
For the Q2 the track was getting worse during the latest minutes and this helps the top 10 drivers who were before in these positions to get the access to the Q3.
Q2 Eliminated: Raikkonen, Button, Kvyat, Sutil, Magnussen and Perez.
At Q3 Vettel has immediately went to the top but He didn’t can do anything to beat Lewis Hamilton who took another pole position for Mercedes this year. Behind the Briton finished Ricciardo followed by Vettel, Rosberg (who made a spun at last turn) and Alonso on Top5.
