Lewis Hamilton says he struggled with a lack of rear downforce on his Mercedes Formula 1 car that left him 'on a knife-edge' during qualifying for the Japanese GP.
Hamilton admitted that he couldn't have got any more out of the car after some set-up changes overnight.
"And I was really happy with that. But just really hard to pull any more out of it. I'm already on the knife-edge with the rear end the whole way through the lap, all the way through."
