Poll: Main Lewis Hamilton Competitor in 2010?

March 9th, 2010

The 2010 Formula 1 season is only days away. The season already seems to have all the ingredients for one of the most interesting F1 seasons.

Lewis Hamilton’s Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team looks to be in a much better position than it was last year.

Who do you think will be Lewis Hamilton’s main challenger?

McLaren MP4-25 2010 Formula 1 Car

February 3rd, 2010

McLaren unveiled the new 2010 Formula 1 car: the MP4-25.

The 2010 car look great. The MP4-25 looks relatively similar to last year’s MP4-24 car. Although this time round the car has a longer wheelbase due to the fuel tank volume increase, which has to contain enough fuel to last an entire race distance in 2010.

Lewis Hamilton Interview – 2009 F1 Season Roundup

November 9th, 2009

You looked unstoppable around the Abu Dhabi circuit, but the race brought the first mechanical retirement of your Formula 1 career – was it a weekend of mixed fortunes?

Not really. Of course, it’s disappointing not to finish a race – particularly when you’re at the front leading it – but I have to be realistic: to have got through nearly three seasons of racing and to only now be stopped by a mechanical failure is an incredible statistic.

You almost take reliability for granted these days, so it was weird to be stood in the garage watching the race rather than being in it. But I think we can all be proud of what we’ve achieved this year. We started the season with what was the slowest car in the field, but we never gave up, and on Saturday in Abu Dhabi, you could argue that we had the fastest car out there. That’s an absolutely incredible achievement – and I can’t think of a single team other than Vodafone McLaren Mercedes that could have done that.
