Just because I have a plane, I'm not a playboy: Lewis Hamilton explains Hungarian GP pole

Lewis Hamilton stormed to his third pole in Hungary as he pipped Hungry Heidi (Vettel's car's name) and Sebastian Vettel in qualifying on Saturday.

The 28-year-old himself was shocked when he clocked a 0.038s faster time than the triple World Champion.

"I don't envisage tomorrow being a win for us. We've got a steep hill to climb with these tyres and if we did win it would be a miracle. I still feel the win is a while off," Hamilton said.

During the press conference after his pole performance the British driver was asked about being a playboy and what it meant to him.

Hamilton who recently broke up with his girlfriend singer Nicole Scherzinger replied saying, "I would assume that it is someone who is out partying all the time, drinking, sleeping around, spending money on stupid things and generally a jackass."

The 2008 F1 champion further said, "I don't do hardly any of those things. I don't do drink, very rarely do I ever party. Just because I have a plane - s**t, so many people have planes.
It is a means of me getting from A to B without getting stress. If you knew how it was for someone in our position then you might see the reason to get one of those if you can afford it. Fortunately I can. I don't know how long I will keep the plane. It has been cool, I worked hard for it. Just by having a plane doesn't mean you are a playboy."

The Mercedes driver hasn't won a single race this season while his teammate Nico Rosberg has won 2 races so far. Hamilton will be hoping that today's the day he breaks his duck as he hopes for a miracle from pole.
