Lewis Hamilton has said that he is grateful to Mercedes for giving him such a fast car after he finished on pole position for tomorrow's Bahrain Grand Prix.
Hamilton saw off the challenges of Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and teammate Nico Rosberg to take his fourth pole of the year.
He told reporters: "I feel great. I feel very happy. Obviously coming in to the weekend that was the target to master the track and get the car into an area that I'm happy with. I'm really grateful to have this beast underneath me to attack these corners.
"They [Ferrari] are very quick this weekend. They're going to be very hard to beat this weekend hopefully our positioning helps. I think were in a good position. Looking forward to the fight."
Hamilton won the Bahrain race for the first time on his way to the championship last season.
