Defending champion Lewis Hamilton powered to pole position for Sunday’s United States Grand Prix on Saturday when he out-paced Mercedes team-mate and championship leader Nico Rosberg with a blistering lap in a tense qualifying session.

The 31-year-old Briton dominated the action with a best lap in one minute and 34.999 seconds — the first driver to break the 1:35 barrier — to outstrip the German by 0.216 seconds as the Silver Arrows pairing reeled off their 10th front row lockout of the year.
