Lewis Hamilton says he’s confident of a good race in Brazil after qualifying fourth.
The McLaren man is behind his Red Bull title rivals, but crucially he is ahead of leader Fernando Alonso. However he will start on the less favourable dirty side of the track.
“It was tricky, but the track was improving,” said Hamilton. “Undoubtedly the last guy across the line probably was going to get pole position. He was the last one to go through the best patches on the track. I lost a bit of time on my last lap, as always! That’s the way it goes.
“The car was not too bad. It wasn’t spectacular in the wet. In the dry it definitely was feeling a lot better. At the end of the day they [Red Bull] are quicker in the dry that’s for sure, but it’s a surprise that they’re not first and second. We’re close, we can still fight.
“I think we’ve got a good race pace, a good end of straight speed, I think we’re in a good position for tomorrow.
Lewis said his target for Sunday was to “get ahead of everyone in front…”
