Lewis Hamilton delighted, Nico Rosberg disappointed

With the domination displayed by Nico Rosberg in Q1 then in Q2, the pole position promised to Lewis Hamilton yesterday had suddenly taken a bit of lead in the wing. However, the Briton was able to find the small difference in his settings to take pole position in his last lap. “I was very happy after Friday, and we made some changes overnight. Except that the track conditions have changed. So we made some modifications to the differential to try to improve the handling of the car for Q3. On my last run, I was really able to get everything out of the car to get pole. The work done by the team and the step forward in development this weekend totally inspired me. I have never won on this circuit and I wish I could do it,” declares the 2008 World Champion.

Nico Rosberg, for his part, could not hide his disappointment. “ I'm disappointed. I don't like being second, explains the German. I hope to make a better start than Lewis tomorrow and pass him. It will also be a long race where tire degradation will be a key factor. I will do everything to take advantage of this fabulous Silver Arrow. » The W05 Hybrids will aim for a fifth victory in as many races in 2014.
