Lewis Hamilton has welcomed the threat from
Ferrari in Malaysia despite nearly losing pole position to Sebastian
Vettel in a turbulent qualifying session at Sepang.
Hamilton secured the 40th pole of his career by less than a
tenth of a second ahead of his Ferrari rival as the Scuderia ended
Mercedes' run of front-row lock-outs dating back to last summer’s
Hungarian GP.
Hamilton had been over a second clear of both Vettel
and Rosberg after their first flying laps of a rain-delayed Qualifying
Three and was on course for an even faster second flying lap before
apparently being blocked by his dawdling Mercedes team-mate.
“I’m happy to see Ferrari are doing really well and to be so close.
It is only the second race and it does show we do have a race with
someone else,” Hamilton told Sky Sports News HQ.
"I
didn’t get a better lap on my second lap so when I crossed the line l
was just hoping that the first one was good enough. Ferrari are very,
very quick in the race and they are getting quicker. The battle we had
today was pretty cool."
