Lewis Hamilton (6th, 1:30.261): “We knew coming to this circuit that we wouldn’t be competing for the front row or the win – the Red Bull and Ferrari are in a different league here, and we have some fundamental limitations with our car. I think strategy will play a role tomorrow and if I am able to get a Ferrari at the start it would be good. Tomorrow, we don’t know what the weather will be like, but we are aiming to get both cars up there again. I think there was a little bit more to find, but probably only one or two more positions on the grid. I think the 1m30.8 was a quick time on the first set of tyres. I think the balance of the car was looking good and we could have looked to get into Q3, so it’s a bit of a shame we weren’t able to. Our car works well in the wet, so I think that these conditions would be best for us.”. We will see what we can do tomorrow, but I am just very happy about today.
