Hamilton attacked like in qualifying?

Started in pole position, Lewis Hamilton (McLaren) did everything to achieve the best possible result. Using a two-stop strategy, the Briton did not make the slightest mistake for a large part of the race. He attacked, came back on the Brawn GP who had overtaken him thanks to a better strategy? at one stop? but finally went off the road in Lesmo in the final loop of the GP.

« I attacked like in qualifying every lap “, Hamilton told the BBC. “ It was therefore predictable. We didn?t have the power and I attacked as much as I could to catch up with the Brawn GP and win. I can only apologize to the team He continued.

The reigning World Champion is not giving up, however, and is expecting a lot from the next developments to get back on the top step of the podium. “ We have improvements coming to the car. I hope that will give us a slight advantage. Maybe I wouldn't have to attack at 130 percent but only at 110 percent! »
