Hamilton wants to take advantage of his SREC

Lewis Hamilton, winner of two races this season, ends the year much better than he started it. The Briton now hopes to finish the season with a victory, before focusing on 2010. " We had a fantastic half season, recognizes the pilot McLaren-Mercedes. It would be perfect to end the year with a victory. That would leave us this winter full of motivation and pumped up for the 2010 season. »

If he is so enthusiastic, it is because the driver has confidence in McLaren's ability to succeed on this new Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi. “ Everything indicates that the Abu Dhabi track will be favorable to us. There are plenty of slow corners leading into long straights, where the SREC (Kinetic Energy Recovery System, KERS) will prove a big advantage. »

The SREC is also likely to live its last hours in Abu Dhabi, having to be abandoned in 2010. So, Lewis Hamilton wants to enjoy it one last time. “ Given that this is probably the last race for SREC, it would be great to report a perfect result. It would be a fitting farewell to all the engineers who worked so hard to make our system the best on the market. »
