Question: After hammering in the fastest lap in second practice you must be pretty satisfied with how it went today…

Lewis Hamilton: Well, I’m pretty satisfied although we don’t have the best aero package so we are not as quick as we would like to be. But nevertheless, we are doing better than we had expected. We still don’t have as much downforce as some of the other teams so we are still not great in the high-speed corners. You could see that especially in the mid sector of the track. There a lot of guys have been faster. Fortunately we have KERS and a good car in the first and last sector. I am definitely not unhappy.

Question: What would you think about the possibility of Nico Rosberg being your new team mate next season?

Lewis Hamilton: I have nothing to say about it. In this matter you should speak to Martin (Whitmarsh) or to Norbert (Haug). For me, I am happy with Heikki (Kovalainen).

Question: Is your aim to win here?

Lewis Hamilton: For sure I want to win. I won last year. Whether we will have the pace this year, I don’t know at the moment.
