    had the upper hand

    example

    Hamilton tinha a faca e o queijo na mão, mas numa pista tão molhada, tudo podia acontecer.

    Example translation

    Hamilton had the upper hand, but with such a wet track, anything could happen.

    Translator's comment

    The literal translation would be "with knife and cheese in hand" which is not an expression used in English, but fortunately there are some expressions used to transmit the same idea.

    Você tinha o dinheiro em mãos para comprar o que queria, mas na hora desistiu, e depois se arrependeu de não ter comprado " você estava com a faca e o queijo na mão "
