Huge challenge ahead - Hamilton

By on

With the lack of testing compared to previous seasons, Lewis Hamilton is afraid that there won't be enough track time to develop the car, nor to get to know it properly. And with the new regulations in effect, including the use of KERS, it will make the task of dialing in the package and making it reliable even more difficult.

Hamilton shared with 'BBC Sport', "I've got seven days to master the car, where normally I would have had twenty."

"It's a completely new package for all of us and it's going to be interesting. We have a huge challenge ahead with KERS, with its reliability and also finding the new set-up," he continued, "With limitations on testing during the season and the few sessions we have before then, this will be an intense time and absolutely critical for every team."
