“This is an extremely rare opportunity to own this one-off Dakar inspired Bentley off-roader which maintains all the comforts and luxuries inside,”
Hamilton only relinquished the lead during the pit stop phase as he triumphed for the sixth time this season, beating Bottas by 4.4 seconds.
Despite poor weather conditions through Saturday morning, which led to final practice being shortened, qualifying got underway as planned, at 14:00 local time.
The start of the one-hour session was delayed for 44 minutes as heavy rain fell at the Monza circuit. Most drivers elected not to set times and limit the running on their wet weather tyres to save them for qualifying.
Hamilton's current deal with Mercedes runs out at the end of 2018, but there has have been suggestions that he is eager to extend it for several years after that.
Hamilton led away from pole position and survived an initial attack from Vettel along the Kemmel straight on the first lap, before settling into a rhythm and edging clear.
An announcement about Vettel's new deal came on Saturday, with Ferrari eager to not let speculation about the future of its drivers act as a distraction to its efforts to win the world championship.
Hamilton found even more time on his second Q3 run, clinching pole with a stunning 1m42.553s effort.
M-Sport team principal Malcolm Wilson said he was delighted with the speed and tenacity Tanak, whose Germany win was his second in four rallies, was showing.
