Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes still believe they can win Sunday's Korean GP despite losing out to Sebastian Vettel in qualifying.

Mercedes made set-up tweaks ahead of final practice which didn't work, but having reverted back to Friday's configuration, Team Principal Ross Brawn is hopeful they can carry their impressive long-run pace into the race and take the fight to Vettel. "We have just made some fine adjustments on the balance - the car wasn't quite what we wanted this morning on the balance and we went back a little bit on the setups," he told Sky Sports F1. "But it has been a fairly quiet weekend so far and it was about as good as we could have done. Nico didn't get a very tidy lap at the end, but the car was encouraging on Friday with fuel so if we can carry that through to tomorrow it will be an interesting race. "Lewis is feeling very good in the car. Yesterday on fuel was very encouraging and I don't know what the weather is going to do - it is to be showers in the morning and dry in the afternoon, but definitely cooler than it has been." Sky F1's coverage of the Korean GP begins at 5.30am, with lights out at 7am
