Lewis Hamilton relishes qualifying pressure

Lewis Hamilton has claimed that he enjoys the high-pressure environment of Formula 1 qualifying after securing pole for Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix.

The McLaren driver pipped teammate Jenson Button to sit on the front of the grid for tomorrow's race in Sepang.

"Everyone is under the same amount of pressure. We all put pressure on ourselves," said Hamilton.

"It's very intense and the most exciting part of the weekend. I really enjoy it.

"It's been a good weekend so far. We made some set up changes to the car and we still managed to do some good times."
