Lewis Hamilton is confident he can perform well in the Hungarian Grand Prix after he recorded the best time in Friday's practice session.

The McLaren driver has struggled in recent races and was forced to retire at the German Grand Prix last weekend, but he has insisted he can have a good weekend in Hungary.

After Friday's practice, Hamilton said: "I am happy with my day's work. I'm on it.

"I think things are looking pretty good this weekend. I will be focusing on maximising every lap and every opportunity I get out there."

Hamilton is currently 62 points adrift of championship leader Fernando Alonso.
