English Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton has snagged pole position for Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix, while German teammate Nico Rosberg will start alongside him on the front row.
Hamilton covered the 4.31-kilometer (2.68-mile) Jose Carlos Pace Autodrome in Sao Paulo in 1:10.736, one-tenth of a second ahead of Rosberg's fastest lap, in the third and final round of qualifying on Saturday.
The Williams drivers have now claimed pole position for 19 of this season's 20 races, with Australian Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo being the only rival to start first on the grid (Monaco Grand Prix).
Hamilton claimed pole position for the 60th time in his Formula One career, leaving him just eight short of the record held by German racing legend Michael Schumacher.
Finland's Kimi Raikkonen, who drives for Ferrari, will start third on the grid alongside Dutch Red Bull driver Max Verstappen.
With just two races remaining in the F1 season, Rosberg leads the Drivers' Championship with 349 points, 19 more than Hamilton, the two-time defending champion.
Ricciardo, who will start sixth on Sunday, is a distant third.
The final race of the season will take place on Nov. 27 in Abu Dhabi.
