Lewis Hamilton was frustrated to qualify only fourth in Brazil, and admitted that he couldn’t squeeze any more time out of his car, having finished the session some 0.2s down on Jenson Button.
This is the third time that Lewis has qualified fourth in Brazil, after 2008 and 2010. The only time he did any better was second on his first appearance at Interlagos in 2007.
“I just struggled to be any faster than I was with the package that I have,” said Hamilton. “Jenson was quicker than me today which has not always been the case in qualifying, so he’s obviously done a great job. I think I could definitely been a couple of tenths faster but I just wasn’t able to find that time.
“It’s a little bit disappointing, really. We’re still on the second row but of course we would have loved to have gone quicker. My performance, I’m not really too happy with that – again I just wasn’t quick enough.”
Asked about the advantage of the Red Bulls, Lewis said: “It’s downforce. If you look the Red Bulls put 8km/h worth of downforce on this morning, and we don’t have any more downforce to put on. They slowed down quite a bit [in a straight line] compared to us.”

i’m sure he’s bluffing… his comments on friday suggested he was going to set his car up for a wet race, and for him to be this far off the pace suggests that he did exactly that.
