BUDAPEST, July 28, 2018 (News Wires) - Lewis Hamilton danced in the rain on his way to a memorable pole Saturday ahead of his team-mate Valtteri Bottas as Mercedes secured a front row lockout for the Hungarian Grand Prix. The championship leading Briton, who is battling with Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel for a fifth drivers' world title, delivered another master-class in wet-weather driving and perfect timing. He chose to go for his final flying lap in the dying seconds of the session and grabbed pole with a lap that produced his team's fourth lockout of the season. Six days after his epic drive from 14th on the grid to win the rain-hit German Grand Prix last Sunday, he claimed his sixth pole in Hungary, his fifth this year and the 77th of his career. "Are we good?" Hamilton asked his team over the radio. "We're good," came the reply. "It's great for the team to have a one-two," added Hamilton. "Jeez. We couldn't have expected this. The heavens opened and it was fair game " Hamilton was nearly three-tenths quicker than Bottas who was second ahead of fellow-Finn Kimi Raikkonen and his Ferrari team-mate Vettel, Carlos Sainz of Renault and Pierre Gasly of Toro Rosso. "When it was drier it was a bit like doing ballet and tip-toeing, trying to find a line," added Hamilton. "It was give and take all the way around. We've got a great position so we're going to do our best to keep the red guys behind us "
