In fact, as early as nearly a month ago at the Imola circuit, Hamilton won the 99th pole position of his F1 career, but unfortunately in Portimão in Portugal, the excellent performance of teammate Bottas postponed his career 100 wish, and today in Hamilton, Catalonia finally realized!

In the Q2 competition, Verstappen had made the fastest 1:16.922 to occupy the first place, giving Hamilton a lot of pressure. However, in Q3, Hamilton, although there were some small mistakes, finally still won the pole position by 1 minute 16.741 seconds faster than Verstappen!
Lewis Hamilton's first pole position of his career, do fans remember which stop? For the fledgling but powerful young man at the time, the first shot of his career did not come too late - the 2007 Canadian station. Perhaps what has always been remembered at that stop is the serious crash in Kubica and the frequent safety car in the main race...
But it was also in that game that Hamilton exploded after being overpowered by then-teammate Alonso for five stops! He won the pole position in one fell swoop, and was not disturbed by any accidents and safety cars in the main race, and finally won the first sub-station championship of his career! A career that could be called a legend began.
For The little man, of the 100 pole positions so far in his career, these two pole positions in the 2017 season may still be fresh in his memory! In Azerbaijan that season, Hamilton took the 66th pole position of his career, surpassing his idol Elton Senna.
Senna's record was broken and Schumacher's 68 was just around the corner. In Belgium that season, the 200th match of the Briton's career, Hamilton tied the legendary star at Schumacher's first career win 25 years ago. On September 2, 2017, Hamilton solved the once unsolvable problem with an unsolvable lap in the rain of the Italian station, and won his 69th pole position to surpass Schumacher's 68 and become the pole king in F1 history!
Today, Hamilton got a hundred! You must know that so far, F1 has only played a total of 1039 games, this record can be said to be unprecedented, and it is difficult to have any comers after that...
Can Hamilton implement Pole to Win? In the history of the Spanish Grand Prix, Hamilton has achieved four pole to win in a total of five times, and the only time he failed to win in pole position was in 2016, and it is worth noting that the final champion in that year was Verstappen, which made him the youngest race champion in F1 history.
To say that Verstappen is also a "hundred pole winner"! In qualifying for the 2019 Hungarian Grand Prix, Verstappen became the 100th pole finisher in F1 history while winning his first pole position. And this weekend in Spain, Verstappen Jr. will also celebrate his 100th F1 Grand Prix for Red Bull.
Tomorrow's main game, the battle between Meben and Red Bull will continue! After the first three stops, Meben leads by 18 points in the constructors' standings, with Hamilton holding a slim 8-point lead in the drivers' standings. Hamilton, who has just finished a 100-stroke in F1, and Verstappen, who is playing for Red Bull for his 100th game, are both eager to add a race trophy to their 100th mile in Catalonia!
Who will finally be on the top podium? Tomorrow at 20:50, Five Star Sports will bring you the live broadcast of the main game of the 2021 F1 Spain, so stay tuned!
