Lewis Hamilton, who starts from ninth today: “I wasn’t comfortable with my race pace [during practice] so I changed the car to hopefully make the race pace better, but we’ll see if that’s really the case.
“There is lots of [tyre] degradation with the rears and race pace is everything but obviously position is important too.
“The factory have finally given us a car we can fight with but I wasn’t able to utilise it [in qualifying].
“For George to be 0.3secs off Red Bull is incredible. If that’s our platform from here, we can really chase through the rest of the season.”
