The 36-year-old had to take over a fourth new engine of the season – one more than is allowed in each season – although, because he did not need a completely new engine, he at least avoided a start from the start.
Hamilton qualified the fastest, but Mercedes team-mate Valteri Bottas will be on pole position from ten places due to his penalty.
The Brit was fastest in both Friday training sessions and was in command again, but will start the race today from 11th place.
Title rival Max Verstappen qualified third fastest with his Red Bull, moving up to second place and joining Bottas on the front row.
“I have to be on pole to limit the loss,” said Hamilton on Friday. “The Ferrari cars will be difficult to overtake, as will the Alpines and the McLarens.
