The Briton is happy with the performance of the MP4-26 but tempers his enthusiasm by emphasizing the competitiveness of the competition. The pilot McLaren also prepare his car for the expected rain this Sunday in Sao Paulo.

" The car was pretty good, my second lap on soft tires went very well and I was comfortable with the changes made to the set-up?, explains the 2008 world champion. “We are at the same pace as Ferrari and I think that Red Bull will be faster in the race, I might be wrong but I'm just basing this on what we're used to seeing. My car performed very well on the short and long runs. I am working on the balance of the car while anticipating the rain forecast for Sunday. »
