BARCELONA (Reuters) - Lewis Hamilton took pole position at the Spanish Grand Prix for the second successive year on Saturday with Ferrari's championship leader Sebastian Vettel just missing out but joining the Mercedes driver on the front row.

The pole was the 64th of the Briton's career, one short of his late Brazilian boyhood idol Ayrton Senna on the all-time list and with record holder Michael Schumacher's 68 in his sights.
