"I never like to go into a weekend as favourite and I don't like to be too upbeat," he said. "I'm not Muhammad Ali and saying this weekend is going to be the best weekend ever. But, looking at the next few races, this is one of the better ones for us. Coming off a very tough weekend, I feel I am racing against some very, very talented drivers who are going to be quick as well.

"I would rather do my talking on track, I feel the car will work well and I feel I am in a good 'head space' so I hope that will add to a good result."
