Lewis Hamilton will be looking to claw his way back to the familiar position of front of the pack as the six-time world champion bids to extend his championship lead at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. 

Hamilton was denied a record-extending 98th pole position in Imola on Saturday by Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas, who was just 0.097sec quicker than the Brit in qualifying.

Last week, in Portugal, Hamilton was forced to come from behind to break Michael Schumacher’s F1 race win record, and he will be required to put in a clinical display to get one over his Finnish team-mate today.
