Wilson still aiming for victory

The Briton had been fastest in final practice, but did not manage to make it through to the Fast Six session as rain struck before qualifying.

"Based on our potential I am pretty disappointed," said Wilson. "The McDonald's team ran the quickest time the whole weekend but our starting position doesn't reflect that.

"I thought we had a lot of potential but we couldn't get a lap out of it quick enough. We were slipping and sliding around. In conditions like that where it's wet and drying you need to be able to get on it and I couldn't for whatever reason."

But he believes he can come through the field in the race, as he expects tomorrow's event to see a lot of incident.

"Anything can happen in this race especially with a rolling start here," Wilson said. "It's going to chaos at Turn 1. I think we can still be very smart and work this out because it's by no means over.

"We can still win this race and show what we are capable of."
