LEWIS Hamilton will start today's Singapore Grand Prix from pole position.

The 24-year-old Formula 1 world champion from Herts was quickest in qualifying at the Marina Bay circuit yesterday (Saturday).

The pole position is Lewis's third in the last four races and the 16th of his F1 career.

"It's an absolutely fantastic result," said the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes driver afterwards.

"We came here with several technical upgrades, and we didn't know if we'd be up there - particularly after Friday practice, which wasn't spectacular for me."

The race will take place at night in Singapore under floodlights.
