Hamilton takes pole position in Malaysia

Hamilton has been the fastest in the qualifying session today in Malaysia.
In the rain soaked session there were a few surprises, the Ferrari-ace Kimi Raikkonen didn't reach Q3 for example.
Max Verstappen ended in P6 in the Toro Rosso just a couple of thousands behind the Red Bull cars of Kvyat and Ricciardo.

Both Manor drivers didn't make it into the 107% rule, Will Stevens didn't drive due to a problem and Merhi didn't set a time fast enough. The team has been granted access to the race by the Fia due to good enough times in the Free Practices.

Also Romain Grosjean has been given a penalty of two position due to jumping the queue and overtaken illegally in the pit exit on his way out.
