The 30-year-old McLaren driver narrowly outpaced nearest rival and current championship leader Mark Webber of Red Bull to clock the fastest lap.


But the Briton was not counting on success in Saturday's qualifying session when, despite Webber suffering an engine failure in the final minutes, he believes the Red Bulls will set the pace again.

The British driveru00a0 said: "Don't be fooled by that! The Red Bulls are much quicker than they show - so it's a normal Friday. You don't catch up a second in a couple of weeks.

"For me, the car feels reasonably good around here -- there are still some areas where we're not so strong, but I think we have a chance."
