Lewis Hamilton warned that the “job is not done yet” after securing his fourth pole position this year and 150th front row start in sizzling heat and gusty wind on Saturday ahead of Sunday’s 50th Spanish Grand Prix. The championship leader and six-time champion outpaced his Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas by 0.059 seconds to claim his fifth pole in Spain and increase his career total to a record 92 poles. Yet despite racing at a track where 15 of the last 19 Formula One races have been won from pole – and where Mercedes has taken the last eight poles since 2013 – the Briton was keen to make sure none of his team take anything for granted. “It’s such a long way down to Turn One here, so the job is not done, that’s for sure,” he said. “It’s very hard to follow here, the positioning is good, but it will be hard from pole position.
