McLaren doesn't want to stop there

Lewis Hamilton had to wait nine months to get back on the top step of the podium. His last victory at the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai last October just preceded his first World Champion title. Since then, many months have passed and the single-seaters of Woking were slow to return to the level they were at last year. We had to wait until the ninth round of the season in Germany to see the MP4-24s once again show their hoods at the forefront.

In Budapest, on the Hungaroring circuit, Hamilton even managed to win after starting in fourth position. “ I'm still excited after this victory in Hungary », Indicates the main person concerned. “ I hope I will be able to maintain this pace in Valencia this weekend? especially with the improvements made to the car. »

« It?s a very demanding circuit, the type of place that doesn?t allow the slightest mistake. It?s quite narrow and relatively slow, so it should suit our car?, he continues. " It is also very difficult to overtake, as we discovered last year? but, with our SREC, Mercedes-Benz proved that anything can happen and I hope that will make the difference in the race. »
