    McLaren's Lewis Hamilton won his third straight Canadian Grand Prix pole Saturday, snapping Red Bull's season-opening streak at seven.

    Hamilton, coming off a victory two weeks ago in Turkey, took the top spot on his final lap in the third round of qualifying, edging Red Bull's Mark Webber with a time of 1 minute, 15.105 seconds at 2.709-mile Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

    "I think it's fantastic for the team," said Hamilton, the 2007 winner in Montreal. "I'm really proud of my guys. I damaged the car a little bit in practice and they fixed it in no time -- seriously professional."
