Hamilton dominated from Q1 and was consistently quicker than Rosberg through all three sessions. Lewis failed to put in a final fast lap and yet Nico was still unable to match his teammate, rival and childhood friend. Many fans will feel that pole position is the least that Hamilton deserves after the underhand move Rosberg made on him at Spa. If he keeps the lead, away from the line and in to the first few corners, Lewis will be nervously looking in his mirrors, for a looming, wild German. Their newly established relationship certainly gives Mercedes' dominance an edge of excitement.
As the session went on, it became clear that Williams are creeping nearer and nearer to Mercedes. Disappointingly, it will be impossible for them to challenge Mercedes, but as we all know, Formula One is regularly about the the next move, the next Grand Prix or the next season. Williams are progressing nicely towards being a serious title contender for 2015. Amazingly, whilst Williams are back near the top, a couple of the big hitters, McLaren and Ferrari, have struggled all season. This time it was Kimi Raikonnen's turn to fall by the wayside, hanging up his boots before the top ten shootout. There seems to be a shift in power and speed, out on the circuit.
