Japanese GP: Lewis Hamilton has won his 80th Pole at the Japanese Grand Prix qualifying, beating his rival Vettel to clinch pole position for Sunday race.
Lewis Hamilton who already leads the Championship at present with 50 points, and with 125 points still left to fight for, could extend his lead after tomorrow’s race, if all goes well for him.
Vettel who finished way behind Lewis knows if he still want to be crowned the 5th time, he has to push more and stop making mistakes at every crucial moment.
Lewis celebrating his win put up this message:
“My 80th Pole! Wow, I’m taken back by this achievement and can’t thank all of my fans enough, #TeamLH, for the inspiring support you give me each race weekend. We keep rising together! Always so grateful of the incredible work by everyone in our team for making this milestone possible. It’s an honour to race for Mercedes. Our focus is now on the race”
