Lewis Hamilton is confident that McLaren have the pace to continually challenge championship leaders Red Bull until the end of the 2011 season. Heading into the summer break the 2008 World Champion is sure that, having won three of the last five Grands Prix, the Woking team’s upward trend will resume.
“What we need to take away from Hungary is that the team has won two races in the last week, so the MP4-26 is a competitive package,” Hamilton said on his personal website. “We've pushed really hard to bring performance back to the car. They've done an incredible job across the organisation.
“Off the back of two consecutive wins is a great way to go into the summer break; everyone is now having an important and well deserved rest and we'll be ready to come back fighting in Belgium.
“The pace in the car is there now, as demonstrated by the two victories, my fastest lap in Germany and our qualifying pace at both ‘Rings. We're in a strong position and we will be working hard to maximise that speed when we get back.”
