Lewis Hamilton has said that he is "really happy" with Mercedes's performance so far this weekend, which has helped him secure pole position for tomorrow's Malaysian Grand Prix.
The Briton had to overcome damp conditions at Sepang to ensure that he will start on the front row alongside Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel.
The 2008 world champion told reporters: "I'm all over the place at the moment. I'm really happy with how well we've done over the weekend, but today was incredible, how heavy was the rain?
"It was tricky out there for everyone because at the end it was almost impossible to see. I couldn't see where the track went, where the corners were, where to brake. I had to bail out of my final fast lap, so it was very close.
"For myself and for the team, the priority is to bag as many points as possible. We've got great a great opportunity, a great car and a team that is performing fantastically right now. Fingers crossed we can see ourselves through to the finish line."
Hamilton also started the Australian Grand Prix from pole earlier this month, but managed just three laps before having to retire.
