'Phenomenal to be here and have this experience' - Hamiltonpublished at 03:32 Greenwich Mean Time

Lewis Hamilton ahead of his first race with Ferrari said: "I woke up early and I looked across the city - it's such a pretty city Melbourne. I've got a great view of the train station and the river.
"I was messaging my brother and my family; this is very surreal for us and we're incredibly grateful for this opportunity.
"Even in the garage yesterday, my dad was like 'wow this is really Ferrari', we just have to keep reminding ourselves, not that you don't get reminded because it's red everywhere, but it's phenomenal to be here and have this experience which I'm really grateful for.
"I'm just building with the team constantly. Today is a new experience again, everything is a first time for me at the moment.
"I've never driven the car in the rain so understanding the settings, communication with the team, the strategy that they run is different, so we're learning on the fly, but hopefully it will be a good day."
