The Mercedes driver is now only four points behind team-mate and championship leader Nico Rosberg in the standings after victories in Malaysia, Bahrain and China.

Victory in Shanghai last month took the Englishman's tally to 25 wins in Formula One, but he has no intention of resting on his laurels as the season moves to Europe.

Hamilton has finished second in Barcelona on two occasions, but has yet to top the podium and he hopes that will change this weekend.

"After three great weekends in Malaysia, Bahrain and China I'm obviously keen to get on to the next one and continue that positive momentum into the next leg of the season," he told the official F1 website.

"Barcelona is a great place to have the first European round on the calendar.

"It's a circuit we all know very well - although this is the first time in my Formula One career that I have raced there without testing at the circuit during the winter - and the Spanish crowds are really passionate about their racing.

"I've never won in Barcelona but I'm in a good place right now and I'm hoping that this will be the year.

"The circuit is fantastic, our car has performed well so far and I'm really looking forward to a good race."
