Lewis Hamilton is bullish about his prospects for the British GP, despite starting only eighth.
Hamilton hopes that variable conditions will give him an opportunity to climb the order – and he sounds like he plans to go for it.
“It’s going to be an incredibly tough race, looking after these tyres, getting them working, staying out of trouble, avoiding standing water,” he said. “Of course our experience will come into play, but anything can happen tomorrow, and that’s really the exciting part of it. You have to go in with your heart and your head and get on with it.”
Hamilton admitted that it did get very difficult during qualifying.
“The visibility here is incredible, with the spray. I’m not sure why it’s more here than it is maybe in other places, but you can’t see a thing. Just on the out lap of Q3 I was behind quite a few cars there, and just on the out lap down towards Copse you don’t know whether to stay flat out or not, you can’t see the car for the life of you. Even 10m in front of you, 5m, you can’t see.”
