Formula One: Hamilton thrilled for the upcoming Korean Grand Prix
The top British Formula 1 racer, Lewis Hamilton is denying the fact of ruling himself out of the contest for the championship title of Formula 1.
Now only three races are left in the ongoing season of Formula 1 and the Briton is very much aware of the fact that the conditions over the score board can change in no time. It is also to be notified that Hamilton clutched the world championship title of
the year 2008 by winning the final race in Brazil. However, the conditions seem pretty different this year, as the Englishman is residing at the fourth spot on the points table and is twenty eight points adrift of the current point’s leader, the Australian
veteran Mark Webber of the Red Bull racing team.
In a very recent interview, the twenty five year old Briton expressed his ambitions and said that he is very positive and optimistic about the upcoming Korean Grand Prix race. He added that he still has a chance and he will try his level best to clutch every
single possibility of ending the current season in a marvellous way. Hamilton said that hopefully his team will have more chances of winning in the upcoming races than the Red Bull and the Ferrari teams.
Recently all the five title contenders were gathered together for a comfortable and exciting press conference in South Korea. Currently Webber is leading the points table and the defending champion from the McLaren team Jenson Button is on the fifth spot.
Button is currently thirty one points adrift of Webber and there are seventy five points left in the championship to be clutched.
While talking about this, the British ace said that there are still plenty of points left in the championship and any one of the current top five contenders can claim the championship title by outclassing his rivals over the racing track.
Hamilton finished in the race in Japan after suffering from a gearbox problem. He said that he should win all the three races now and to do that he needs to give his best and he is hoping for the best now.
The performance by the McLaren team is also being criticized by some critics but Lewis seemed very relaxed and satisfied with the matter and said that the performance by the team McLaren was fairly good in the last race. He further stated that they give
a strong challenge to all the competitors and hopefully he and his team mate will give a strong thrashing challenge to the others.
McLaren will experiment a new back wing and a modified front wing in the upcoming race. According to the McLaren team, their drivers have to finish the race before Mark Webber to keep their championship hope alive in the season. It is to be noticed that
if Webber wins the race in Korea, then Hamilton will have to finish his campaign at the eighth and his McLaren team mate Jenson Button will not be able to finish the season lesser than the sixth spot.
According to the reports, the newly built racing circuit for the upcoming Korean Grand Prix will suit Hamilton. According to critics, the first section of the track with two straights will suit the McLaren team and the second section of the track which comprises
corner and turns will suit the Red Bull racing team.
Jenson Button expressed his feelings with sheer confidence and told the media that he is really excited to race over the Korean circuit. He said that the two long straights in the circuit will surely help them in the race.
He added that he is fifth in the championship standings and thirty one points behind the leader and it is not going to be easy to catch Webber but his job is to perform better and better.
