Lewis Hamilton refused to rule out a landmark 100th career Formula One win on Sunday after qualifying fourth for the Italian Grand Prix, but recognised it was 'highly unlikely'.
Mercedes' seven-times world champion has not won since his record-extending 99th victory in his home British Grand Prix at Silverstone on July 18.
Silverstone marked the debut of the experimental sprint qualifying format and Monza was the second trial of it but Hamilton struggled at the start. "I was being as aggressive as I could be," he said of his afternoon. "The McLarens are the quickest on the straights, I just couldn't get close enough to then capitalise on the straight line."The start was just... broke away traction. Subtle. Like two millimetres too deep with the clutch pedal and wheelspin. That's it."
"Tomorrow is highly unlikely but not impossible that we can get the win. I'll of course be working as hard as I can to try. I think it's damage limitation at the moment.
