Lewis Hamilton is looking to retain his lead in the Drivers' Championship by beating his team-mate to this weekend's Hungarian GP win.
After a disastrous showing in Germany two weeks, which involved a crash in qualifying and the wrong tyre choices during the wet/dry grand prix, Hamilton saw his lead cut to two points by Fernando Alonso.
However, the McLaren rookie believes he ready for this weekend's Budapest race and is relishing the chance to extend his advantage in the Championship standings.
"We had a productive test in Jerez. I was there for a day and spent the time focusing on set-up and development work for Hungary, in the hot and dusty conditions," the Brit said.
"We have as good a chance as anyone at the race. We have a great car and it is important that I go with a clear mind and the same approach as normal, but there is no reason why we can't go there and win."
That is a sentiment echoed by his team-mate Alonso, who is not only looking for the victory but also the lead in the Drivers' Championship standings.
"It was great to take the win in Germany and I hope to achieve the same result in Hungary," the reigning World Champion said. "I have some good memories from this track, as I took my first Formula One victory in Hungary."
