World champion Lewis Hamilton will begin his 2015 title defence from pole position after comfortably eclipsing Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg in Saturday’s qualifying session in Australia.

The Silver Arrows dominated as expected, but it was incredibly close behind them as Williams, Ferrari and Red Bull vied for position. Felipe Massa ultimately won the battle to be best of the rest, the Williams man just edging Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel for third.

Q1 was dominated by the Mercedes, with Hamilton fastest on 1m 28.586s from Rosberg on 1m 28.906s, both on the medium tyres. Massa got closest with 1m 29.246s on the softs.
