Lewis Hamilton: “Very good feeling”

Lewis Hamilton did not leave doubt hanging for long this Friday. Even in the second session, when Michael Schumacher took the best time from him, the Briton quickly regained first place. The 2008 World Champion feels good behind the wheel of a car which he finds very well regulated.

« We had a good day today, says Hamilton. I have a very good feeling in the car. I have probably never even felt so good on this circuit. Every time I arrive at a circuit this year, I feel much better than the previous time. It?s very positive. »

« Sepang is a very special circuit, continues Hamilton. It?s not a “start and stop” circuit, it?s fluid, it?s a fast circuit. You need a lot of grip at the rear, very good balance, a car that can ride the curbs while saving tires. This is never an easy combination to achieve. »

But, if he is satisfied with the performance of his car, the Briton thinks that the MP4-25 can still improve in efficiency. “ I'm going to sit down with my engineers and make some changes. We don't know where the others are so we have to continue to focus on our performance. But we are satisfied to have taken a step forward. »
