Lewis Hamilton claimed the 53rd pole position of his career after finishing fastest in qualifying for Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix.
The defending champion, who won his first race of the season in Monaco last month, clocked a fastest lap of one minute 12.182 seconds to sneak home ahead of his Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg.
Rosberg, who leads the title race by 24 points after six races, finished just ahead of four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel.
"It actually wasn't a great lap," Hamilton told a news conference. "I didn't have the same pace I had yesterday, but it was obviously enough.
"Ferrari have picked up the pace with the upgrades they have brought. It will be exciting to have a race with them."
