Will Lewis Hamilton be able to pull rabbits out of hat?
Lewis Hamilton still sees the title chase possible for him despite having walked out of Singapore without any points last Sunday.
The fifteenth race of the season was showcased amidst a lot of thrill and excitement at one of the most tricky and exciting tracks, the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
As the Belgian Grand Prix took place only a month back, it seemed as if the battle for the title was finally left between the top two racers, Mark Webber of Red Bull and Hamilton, as three of the top five racers of the Drivers’
Tally moved out of the race pointless. However, just as the season had come all the way in a very uncertain and unpredictable manner so were the last two races unwrapped this month.
The McLaren driver has packed both his last races without having earned any points which leaves his fans as well as the team very distressed and disappointed. However, the fact that despite all the odds and poor finishes the British
driver is still hopeful, served as a fresh breeze for his fans.
The last two poor races have pushed the driver from his initial top position to third place behind Fernando Alonso of Ferrari, being 20 points behind Webber which Hamilton believes is not an unachievable target.
Sunday’s race packed for him as he took the seventh turn during the 35th lap while he attempted to pass across Webber but had an unfortunate contact with his RB6. As he talked to the media right after the race he told that although
he does not exactly know at the moment what went wrong, however he believes that he left enough space for Webber to pass.
While recalling the incident he said, "I'm still not exactly sure what happened with Mark and me, but, telling it from my point of view, I saw that he'd made a mistake and had got caught up with the backmarkers, so I was in position
to slipstream him. I was on the outside going into turn seven, and he was in my blind-spot, just behind me. I thought I'd got sufficiently past him, though. I braked, turned in, and tried to leave enough room for him on the inside - and the next thing I knew
I'd got clipped, my tyre was blown, and that was it. But, as the saying goes, I guess that's motor racing."
Still, the accident did not make him lose heart, rather he pronounced his hope saying that he now plans to move ahead for the championship race-by-race in order to diminish the gap.
There are still four more races to go and the two stand twenty points adrift, which surely is not an impossible thing especially keeping in mind the way the season has unfolded one can expect to see the most unexpected things on
the track.
Besides all, Hamilton stated that he drives because he loves to do this and whether he wins the title or not he knows one thing that he has enjoyed the season immensely and is looking forward for more fun in the rest of the season
along with fighting as hard as he can till the last race.
Well, at this moment one cannot ignore McLaren’s team Principal Martin Whitmarsh, who also backed Hamilton saying that his move on Webber was not a wrong one. He was happy to tell that Lewis drove a great race but there are simply
some unlucky days and he was having his.
Still there are chances that things will be put back to right place and anybody knows that Hamilton knows to pull rabbits out of the hat when he needs to. So, all the fans to the chocolate skinned driver need to keep your fingers
crossed till you see him do wonders on the track again.
