One career Lewis Hamilton will not start from pole at the Canadian Grand Prix, promoting the dejected McLaren driver to all but wave the white flag before Sunday's race.
Twice a winner on Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Hamilton arrived in Montreal hoping to put the brakes on Sebastian Vettel's blitz towards another driver's crown but after qualifying a disappointing fifth on Saturday, the Briton gave himself little chance of catching the Red Bull world champion.
"Vettel is gone, he is on his way," Hamilton told reporters. "They (Red Bull) are very, very hard for us to catch at this rate."
Hamilton, who became the sport's first black world champion in 2008, had an explosive outburst after the Monaco Grand Prix two weeks ago hinting at discrimination by stewards after receiving penalties and he struggled to contain his frustration again on Saturday.
Unable to disguise his bitter disappointment, a prickly Hamilton said he had done everything he could to get his McLaren further up the grid but that the car was just too slow.
