Lewis Hamilton wants front-row start

Mercedes's Lewis Hamilton hopes to qualify on the front row of the grid for Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton has confirmed that he is keen to start this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix from the front row of the grid.

Since the Marina Bay street circuit held its first race in 2008, the winner has started the race from pole position three times.

"It's so difficult to overtake around at this circuit that you want to qualify as high up as possible and, of course, aim for the front row but that will be tough," Sky Sports News quotes the 2008 world champion as saying.

"It wasn't the perfect Friday for us but we got on with our programme and know where we have to make improvements for tomorrow.

"The balance of the car felt really good in P1 but it definitely went away from us in P2. There is a lot of work to do this evening but we're used to that on a Friday night and will just get on with it and focus on our car and performance."

The Mercedes driver, who won this race in 2009, was fastest in the first practice earlier today, but finished fourth in the second session.
