Qualifying day in Barcelona and Lewis Hamilton celebrated 100 pole positions.
100 POLES! I can't even begin to describe how this feels. I can't thank the team and everyone back at the factory enough for everything they've done to help us secure this incredible milestone. I feel so humbled and very grateful. This feels like my first win all over again 🙌🏾💯 pic.twitter.com/KkCgShdhq2 — Lewis Hamilton (@LewisHamilton) May 8, 2021 You do realise you are watching one of the most talented people to ever have walked the Earth, don't you? He really is a phenomenon. Can only watch on in awe #f1 https://t.co/0InWWIfTjg

Max Verstappen will start from second.
I'm happy qualifying 2nd. To be this close 🤏 on this track is good for us and shows the progress we've made as a team 💪 1st row is a good starting position, as it's a long run to turn one #KeepPushing 🇪🇸 #SpanishGP pic.twitter.com/wo70PwvGxD — Max Verstappen (@Max33Verstappen) May 8, 2021 Close Quali at the #SpanishGP!! 🤏 @Max33Verstappen is on the front row 💪 #SpanishGP 🇪🇸 #ChargeOn 🤘 pic.twitter.com/DDOPxrt2dZ — Red Bull Racing Honda (@redbullracing) May 8, 2021
Valtteri Bottas starts on the second row.
3rd in qualifying. Close as expected! Speed was there, but I had a snap in turn 10 in Q3 and lost probably the pole there. Eyes on tomorrow – not giving up! Congrats to @LewisHamilton for the 100th @f1 career pole!#VB77 #F1 #SpanishGP@MercedesAMGF1 @F1 📷 @ThomasMaheux pic.twitter.com/PAmWwbnHj5 — Valtteri Bottas (@ValtteriBottas) May 8, 2021 A strong lap for VB to start P3 in the #SpanishGP 💪 Bring on tomorrow! 🦈 pic.twitter.com/zSxVMwrxLW — Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team (@MercedesAMGF1) May 8, 2021
