Tuesday, 21 June 2011 @ 12:56Lewis Looking Forward to Valencia
The McLaren star's title bid has gone off the rails in recent weeks, starting with a chaotic Monaco event that saw him twice penalised for colliding with rivals, and then making controversial comments about the race officials, for which he later apologised. He hoped to make amends with a great result in Canada, only to punt Mark Webber into a spin at the first corner, run wide while dicing with Michael Schumacher, and then retire with collision damage after a tangle with his team-mate Jenson Button - who went on to pull off a brilliant last-gasp victory. Hamilton is therefore aiming for a calmer weekend in Spain to settle things down again. "For me, Valencia will be a weekend of consolidation after two disappointing results in Monaco and Canada," he said. "Those two races were particularly frustrating for me because we showed we had the pace to win both of them, yet I only came away with eight points." He said the Spanish street track used for the European Grand Prix was one of his favourite venues, so would be the ideal place to mount a resurgence. "I've always gone well at Valencia, finishing second there in every race, and I really enjoy attacking the track," said Hamilton. "It's a difficult circuit with no let-up, but that won't deter me as I'm really keen to get back on track and get back in the points. "This race will be our third street circuit in a row, so hopefully it'll give me the chance to reverse the bad luck I've encountered in the previous two." Hamilton added that he was now confident McLaren had the pace to beat Red Bull in a straight fight, after he hounded Sebastian Vettel to the flag in Spain, and given that Button came close to winning in Monaco and then pulled off his epic Montreal triumph. "We've arguably had the fastest race car in the last three races, and that's really encouraging because I know that, when it's put to best use, I should be able to finish at the front," said Lewis. |
