Hamilton keen to view pace differences

17 July 2010

Lewis Hamilton is curious to discover McLaren’s pace in comparison with rivals as the championship heads to Germany next weekend. However, regardless of the speed of others, the Englishman is confident of repeating his exciting win of 2008.

It is now two years since Formula 1 last travelled to Hockenheim, with the event having alternated with the Nürburgring since 2007, and so Lewis is more eager than usual to return.

“I won the last race at Hockenheim in 2008,” he recalled. “We had a fantastic car, I got pole position and had a great battle through the field after a mid-race Safety Car to win, so I’d really love the same outcome next weekend!

“The big question mark surrounds some of the other top teams – they’ve shown improved performance over the past two or three races, even if they’ve not fully managed to score the results that their pace suggests, so it will be interesting to see just how close things have become up at the sharp end because this could affect the way the World Championship plays out.”
