MONTREAL (Reuters) - Formula One championship leader Nico Rosberg took pole position for the Canadian Grand Prix on Saturday, with Mercedes team mate and closest rival Lewis Hamilton again beaten into second place at a favourite circuit. The pole was the seventh in seven races for the sport's dominant team who have won every grand prix so far this season and finished one-two in the last five.

After controversy surrounded Rosberg's pole in Monaco two weeks ago, the German left no room for argument in another psychological blow for Hamilton on a sunny afternoon at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
