A good day for Lewis Hamilton as he secures yet another pole position, but he'll know all too well there is still plenty to do.

The reigning world champion has struggled to get off the line in recent races and with new rules about the start of races, everyone is heading into the relative unknown.

Can Nico Rosberg catch Hamilton out? We'll find out tomorrow.

That's it from us, I'll leave you with Andrew Benson's report from Spa and also these excellent video features:

• A day with Max and Jos Verstappen
• A tour through Fernando Alonso's museum
• David Coulthard's memories of 'mighty' Spa

David Coulthard called it flawless, see for yourself by watching Lewis Hamiltion's lap for pole here.

Williams' Valtteri Bottas, who qualified third:  "It is good to be back in the top three in qualifying. 

"We knew after practice that there was so much more we could do if we put everything together. We got the balance finely tuned for qualifying and the car felt really good.

"We knew it would be close, after the Mercedes guys,  and that P3 could be possible. We managed to get everything right."

Nico Rosberg, who qualified second: “For sure I'm disappointed. I lost it a bit this morning in free practice but then I got the balance back for qualifying but Lewis was too quick in the end and found quite a lot extra that I didn't have in my pocket.”    

Lewis Hamilton, who secured pole position: "I am really happy today with the performance of the car and team. They have been doing a fantastic job and the car has been feeling great and it is a circuit where if you can get the right balance it is one of the most fun to drive. It’s a long race and a long run to Turn Five but I am just happy to be here today."

"Lewis's lap was flawless. Nico tended to have the upper hand on two of the sectors but Lewis learned from that through qualifying. He would have had feedback that he has improved in the middle sector and then not content with that he improved in other areas around the lap. 

"He just doesn't seem flustered in anyway. His hands are so steady on the wheel and he looks so assured. It was an as assured a qualifying lap as we have seen from him this year."

You know why Lewis Hamilton's smiling? Because he has won the Pole Position Trophy, that's why*. 

Ten pole positions with eight races to go after this weekend. The qualifying king of 2015.

So no surprises with the top two but what happened to Sebastian Vettel? Usually the best of the rest and he's all the way down in ninth.

Lewis Hamilton does it again, his 10th pole position of the season and he's done it in style too. He was half a second faster than Nico Rosberg.

*Five place grid penalty to come

Lewis Hamilton improves with 1:47.197, too much for Nico Rosberg?

Valtteri Bottas crosses the line and is provisionally third, Romain Grosjean fourth and Sergio Perez fifth.

Sergio Perez is fastest of all through sector one. He's having a stormer today. 

Everyone is back out now for the final shot at securing a strong place on the grid. Valtteri Bottas will give us the first lap time of the 10 drivers.
