http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/84781 Lewis Hamilton said he was relieved to be as high as third in Valencia qualifying as he expected McLaren would be overtaken by teams bringing larger upgrades this weekend. 火腿本來預期在一票車隊帶來大升級的瓦倫西亞站他們會被幹掉 但最後拿到第三，讓他感到鬆了一口氣 While McLaren's next major update - including its blown diffuser exhaust set-up - will not appear until the next round in Britain, Mercedes, Renault and Ferrari have all introduced their revised exhaust systems for Valencia. 麥隊的下一個重要升級：吹氣屁股，要在下一站的英國站才會面世 而賓士、雷諾、還有法拉利這一站都用上了 But Hamilton still managed a second row start behind the Red Bulls. 不過火腿還是拼上了第二排，在兩台紅牛後面 "I am really happy to be here, I feel so fortunate this weekend," he said. 『我很高興最後是在這個位置上，真是有夠走運的這個週末』，他說 "We knew everyone else would be bringing updates and we saw from practice we were quite some way behind, so I was a little bit cautious [in expectations], pushed to the limit, and didn't realise we would be so far up." 『我們知道其他人在這一站有些新玩意，而且FP時我們跑在人家後面 所以我本來是很有點憂慮，所以就把車催到極限，但完全沒料到 我們可以排這麼前面』 He was even more surprised considering he had made a costly error on his last Q3 run. 尤其在他最後一個衝刺圈耍寶之後還有這種排位更是超級意外 "On the second lap I was up in the second sector but locked up rears in Turn 12 and did it later in the lap," said Hamilton. "I thought for sure I was going to drop back but was surprised when I came back and was third." 『衝刺第二圈時我在第二段有進展但是在12彎鎖死了後胎而且不久後又來一次』，他說， 『我想我應該會掉位置的，不過回來時居然還是第三，真是意外』 The Briton still thinks the race is wide open even though a less eventful grand prix than Canada is anticipated. 這英國佬認為比賽還有變數，即使比起上一站這一站應該是會比較少鳥事， "I think definitely it is going to be an interesting race tomorrow," he said. "How we manage the tyres and hopefully they will behave better than the last race. 『我想明天會一定會有一場有趣的比賽，』 他說， 『我們需要好好保護輪胎並希望它們表現的比上一站好些』 "I can't complain about where we start from. The stops will be crucial and obviously the first corner, the first few laps will be crucial for positions. We will push as hard as we can to win." 『對起跑位置沒啥好嫌的了，停站會是關鍵，第一個彎也是， 前幾圈會是兵家必爭之地，我們會盡可能的拼命取勝。』 -------------------------------------------------------- 意外！一切都是意外～～～～ 不過火腿提到停站，呵呵，想必上一站麥隊糟糕的停站效率讓他印象深刻 --
