Formula One championship leader Lewis Hamilton of McLaren won the pole position for Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix on Saturday.
Hamilton beat BMW-Sauber's Robert Kubica with the last lap of qualifying on Saturday.
Polish driver Kubica looked to have grabbed a stunning pole with a late lap of one minute 18.498 seconds.
But Hamilton, who took his first grand prix win from pole position as a 22-year-old rookie in Montreal last June, produced a blistering one minute 17.886 lap with his final effort.
Ferrari's world champion Kimi Raikkonen will start third on the grid with Renault's Spaniard Fernando Alonso alongside.
Germany's Nico Rosberg qualified fifth for Williams and Brazilian Felipe Massa sixth in his Ferrari.
The pole was the Briton's eighth from 24 starts.
