Hamilton: We don't have any problems with the brakes

Nico Rosberg said he has been working around brake problems all season but Mercedes team mate and Formula 1 title rival Lewis Hamilton questioned on Thursday how big an issue that really was.

"He was perfectly fine on the brakes in the last race (at Silverstone)... I'm just letting you know, because I know the data and he knows you're going to ask me that," the double world champion told reporters at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

"We don't have any problems with the brakes," Hamilton, a four times winner in Hungary, said of his own side of the garage.

"Naturally we are always wanting to improve the brakes, particularly in this hot climate where the brakes tend to fade if they get over temperature."

Hamilton, who has won five races this year to Rosberg's three and leads his team mate by 17 points after nine grands prix, was commenting after Rosberg complained separately about the problems he was suffering. Read more here>>>

Hamilton and Rosberg will be aiming for their seventh one-two finish of the season on Sunday while Mercedes can set a Formula One record for going 10 successive races with both drivers on the podium.

Rosberg has never been on the podium in Hungary so far in his career, however. He finished fourth last year after starting on pole position.

Hamilton leads the 2015 world championship standings with 194 points to Rosberg's 177 after 11 rounds.
