McLaren Ready To Beat All At The German Grand Prix
The Formula One caravan is ready to move towards its next destination, the German Grand Prix. As the teams prepare for the upcoming race; the British team, McLaren seems happy and high spirited as they move towards the Hockenheim Circuit on 25th of July.
The year has gone pretty well for them right from the start and the past few races in particular had been very well for the team. Since the start of the season both the drivers of McLaren, Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button had been able to bag two race wins each along with having finished at the podium a number of times.
McLaren is also currently topping the tally of Constructors’ Championship for the past couple of races besides the fact that they do not have the fastest car of the season. The Red Bull with their fastest car and best drivers of the season are following their tail in the charts.
The last round of the season, the British Grand Prix had been an excellent event for the team. Both the racers were driving their home race and desired to end good in order to give a nice weekend to their home fans. Lewis Hamilton the current point topper of the Drivers’ Championship was successful to end the race at the second place behind the Red Bull driver Mark Webber, whereas the team mate Jenson Button was able to give a dramatic racing spectacle as he was able to make a big leap of ten positions, starting the race from fourteenth place on the grid while having it finished at fourth place.
As the team now moves ahead for the next Grand Prix they are thrilled and enthusiastic for they are entering the race as the score leader and hope to keep their position maintained.
Jenson Button of McLaren talks to the media about the race telling that the circuit had been lucky for him previously as well for he was able to finish the race at second place after having it started from thirteenth on the grid in the year 2004, similar to the great racing he portrayed last week at Silverstone.
The Hockenheim Circuit had been much changed over the years as the long flat–out straights that were present here previously no more exist whereas the newly made circuit has other qualities that make it special and well appreciated. The track not only offers more overtaking opportunities to the drivers but also gives more view and spectacle to the race viewers in its new lay out which had been appreciated by the Germans as well as the racers equally.
Button explained that after having a poor qualifying at Valencia and later in Silverstone his aim this weekend is to do well in the qualifying and secure a Q1 grid position.
While commenting on the upcoming race the other team driver Lewis Hamilton also seemed pleased and thrilled as he mentioned earlier he had a race win at Hockenheim in the year 2008, the same year when he was able to bag the World Championship making his record of being the youngest ever champion at the age of twenty three. He further added that the track always brings him good memories and this year he hopes to add another one.
He was also concerned about the other teams for whom he said that they have shown a considerable improvement in their pace in the past few races and now at this time of the year he does not wish to give any space to any other team to occupy his top position.
McLaren is to test its blown diffuser at the Friday’s practice session and if it brings good results it is to be used on the final race day. Well, the fans of the team are looking forward to have a great racing display in only a few more days, at the tracks of Germany.
