Hamilton got hot in Malaysian GP qualifying

The pilot Mercedes only won with 74 thousandths ahead of the Ferrari de Sebastian Vettel who came very close to a first pole with the Scuderia.

“I am very satisfied with my first flying lap.”, recognized Lewis Hamilton. “It was complicated because we were rediscovering the track with new conditions and we were all operating in the unknown since we had not yet driven in the rain this weekend. I had to attack while maintaining a margin of safety. »

Lewis Hamilton could perhaps have improved his time if he had not been slightly slowed down by teammate Nico Rosberg. But the Briton did not want to create controversy with this incident. “I couldn't get any faster on my second attempt. I don't really remember anything else. »
