Hamilton "surprised" by pole position

Lewis Hamilton has admitted that he is "surprised" to be on pole position for tomorrow's Hungarian Grand Prix.

The Mercedes driver was 0.038 seconds faster than Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel, who had been quickest in both of Friday's practice sessions.

After qualifying, the Briton told reporters: "I was really surprised to get pole. I was expecting Sebastian to get it and it didn't even feel that great a lap.

"We've brought some upgrades this weekend and the guys have been working incredibly hard."

Hamilton also started last year's race at the Hungaroring from pole and secured a win the next day.
