Didn't expect to be so high up: Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton was left eating his words after conjuring a qualifying lap that was even a mystery to him.
After Friday's practice sessions for the German Grand Prix, Hamilton claimed he definitely could not challenge for pole after finishing a second adrift of Red Bull's Mark Webber.

So less than 24 hours later, just how the McLaren driver managed to split Webber and his teammate Sebastian Vettel, finishing just 0.055secs adrift of the Australian, is near unfathomable. "I want to get the recording of the on-board footage because I would love to see the lap again.

"I'm on such a high right now, a real natural boost because I honestly didn't expect to be so high up," said Hamilton.
