It was wet and slippery at the Nuerburgring circuit

British driver Lewis Hamilton for the McLaren team is still fighting hard keep up with the runaway champion of Brawn and RedBull.

The defending World Champion flexed his driving muscles in the second practice session yesterday and come out tops, just some two hundred of a second faster than Sebastian Vettel.

The Nuerburgring circuit saw Hamilton as the king in the wet condition of Germany for now, and he hopes to capitalize on this good momentum for pole position today.

The Brit was quoted, “For us this will be a big step, If we’re able to challenge for the points every weekend, that would be a huge boost for us. Hopefully we’ll now do our job at the track and try to keep everything moving forward.”

Showers are expected for today Saturday’s qualifying.
