Lewis Hamilton says at the Spanish Grand Prix, he’s “going to try and drive the wheels off the car and try and get up as high as I can”.
Lewis Hamilton qualified for the Spanish Grand Prix in P5, but there’s no denying that he was very pleased with the way his car performed, so much so that after the session he said his aim is to win the race.
“My goal is to win somehow,” Lewis said.
“I’m going to try and drive the wheels off the car and try and get up as high as I can.”
The pace of the Mercedes was a surprise even to Lewis, as after Friday’s free practice sessions, he said he would have trouble getting into the top 10.

“It was interesting because during the session I was thinking, ‘Damn, yesterday I said I wasn’t going to get into Q3 or into the top 10′, and basically I was eating my words.
“It was a really, really great session and massively encouraging to us to be competitive. I couldn’t believe I was fighting for the top three at one stage.
“Of course, my last lap wasn’t the dream lap, I was second basically all the way until Turn 10 and I had a snap and lost two-tenths.
“On one side I’m gutted, but one side of me is really grateful just to be up there, up in the fight and have that pace,” Hamilton concluded.
