Hamilton hopes for 'awesome' Verstappen fight for win

Lewis Hamilton says it will be important for Ferrari to focus on their own race for what is expected to be a challenging Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia but admits it would be "awesome" if they have the pace to stay with polesitter Max Verstappen from the front row.

​Hamilton produced "probably my best lap of the year" to claim second on the grid with his last attempt of qualifying at the Sepang International Circuit, his second front-row start of the year.
