Lewis Hamilton says he felt under control throughout qualifying as he stormed to pole position for Sundays Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.Hamilton topped each phase of qualifying and eventually beat Mercedes team mate and title rival Nico Rosberg to pole by a comfortable margin of 0.3s. Despite claiming his 12th pole of 2016 -- the most the Briton has achieved in a single season -- championship leader Rosberg was often the faster driver in the first sector, while Hamilton usurped the German in the final two segments.I knew I had pace throughout the rest of the lap so I was relatively cautious, well not cautious but I didnt overcook it into Turn 1 so thats really where a little bit of time was to Nico, the three-time world champion explained. Otherwise the rest of the lap I had under control so I just made sure I maximised those areas.This weekend so far Ive got the car in a real sweet spot, great work done by my engineers and my faultless mechanics again, theyve done a fantastic job. Everyone back at the factory as well, I just want to thank everyone.I cant believe I have 61.Thats four more to go to try and catch Ayrton [Senna] but its been a great weekend so far. I wouldnt have the 61 poles I have now without them so a big thank you to them. Its the perfect position for tomorrow.Hamilton knows he still needs to outscore Rosberg by 12 points to secure his fourth world title. Even if Hamilton wins the race, Rosberg only needs a podium finish to seal his maiden championship.When asked about how he plans to approach Sundays race, Hamilton, who has won twice before at Yas Marina in 2011 and 2014, replied: Well so far this weekend its just been solely focused on getting in this position, which I truly believed I could and obviously it worked.I guess this evening and tomorrow Ill work with my engineers to fully understand the scenario and what Ive got to do. I want to get away and win this race. Ty Cobb Jersey . The Americans, skipped by John Shuster, seized the advantage in the eighth end by scoring five points for a 7-3 lead.
