70 minutes to the start: Lewis Hamilton's comment

      Lewis Hamilton starts second in Spain and hopes to fight for victory…

      Lewis Hamilton: "It's hot today, but the mood is good! I've been racing on this track for many years, and I never get tired of it because the fans here are wonderful, and the Spanish crowd always welcomes us warmly. It doesn't matter so much who they are cheering for – the main thing is that we feel the energy from the stands!

      At the start, there will be a decent opportunity to fight for the lead, as there is a very long run towards the first corner, although Mercedes has a very powerful car. But we will try to make the most of this chance.

      After that, everything will depend on who can work more effectively with the tires. I hope we can show a pace that is at least as good as the leaders, and overall I believe the race will be very interesting."
