Abu Dhabi – Hamilton storms to pole

McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton will start the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in pole position after dominating qualifying at the final race of the season.

Red Bull’s Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel came alive in the dying moments of the final qualifying session of 2009, but McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton kept his nerve and ultimately decimated their chances of taking pole position for the inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with a lap of 1m 40.948s on Saturday evening.

The hotly anticipated duel between Hamilton and his successor as world champion Jenson Button never materialised as Button struggled with a tyre vibration and had to settle for fifth place behind Brawn GP team-mate Rubens Barrichello.
