Lewis Hamilton remains on the podium

Lewis Hamilton (McLaren), certainly, is the toughest adversary of the pilots Red Bull. Threatening during qualifying in Turkey, the Briton was able to raise his level of performance to take pole position in Canada and thus become the first driver to knock out the Red Bull drivers this season in qualifying. This Saturday, in Valencia, the 2008 World Champion was unable to repeat his performance but he climbed onto the podium, behind Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber.

« I am very happy to be here, confides Hamilton. This weekend, we knew that the other teams would arrive with major changes and, during free practice, we saw that we were a little further behind. It will be an interesting race and I can't complain about where I start. »

After two consecutive victories, Lewis Hamilton will lie in ambush behind the Red Bulls, who will be clear favorites for Sunday's race. But the Briton, who never admits defeat, will set off with the desire to catch up with his rivals.
