Question: Lewis, as Sebastian said you have really been in control all weekend. Did you think you had done enough there?
Lewis Hamilton: No, no. It was a good session for me. I think it has been quite a good couple of days to be honest, quite a big improvement for me, I feel, from the last race at least. Yeah, we were quick, the car has been feeling good, but just at the end there that was as fast as I was really able to get out of my lap. It wasn’t particularly a great lap, the one in Q2 was much better but that’s the way it is and well done to Sebastian, he did a great lap. As always, he is very, very quick but the race is tomorrow, that’s the most important day.
Question: You are pretty close. It is not as though Sebastian has got a massive margin over you in spite of the fact that you felt that was probably all you could get out of the car.
Lewis Hamilton: Yeah, I think, as I said, it wasn’t a particularly spectacular lap. Neither of them in Q3 were. In the first two qualifying sessions the car was looking really good and then we got to Q2 then I started to feel the car was understeering a little bit and that’s really the limitation of the car. Then in the final runs I was pushing as hard as I could, but just wasn’t able to improve on my last lap. I think there were bits of time there. As Sebastian said, sometimes you were up, sometimes you were down and there were a couple of small bits of time all over the place but unfortunately I wasn’t able to extract that. Nevertheless, I am still happy with the job I did.

Question: What is your plan to prevent Sebastian winning tomorrow? Is there something special you can do?
Lewis Hamilton: I think it’s about getting a good start, from my side at least. I can’t remember if it was last year when we… was it last year when I started second and you [Vettel] started on pole again last year, didn’t you? Yeah. And I remember into turn one, I braked early and let him go. I don’t plan to do that tomorrow.
