Lewis Hamilton Japanese GP Fuji Speedway winner 2007Young Briton Lewis Hamilton doesn’t agree that Scuderia Ferrari has an advantage for winning both Drivers and Constructors Championships in 2008. “Last year Ferrari were ahead by maybe three or four tenths of a second. They have a very good car again but now we are in equal cars. I thought it was strange that they were not at some of the tests with the other teams and I think Barcelona is a very accurate measure.”

In regards to his own status, the Briton is glad that his first season in F1 is now over: “Perhaps there is more pressure, but I feel there is less. Last year I had so much to prove. There was the press asking, ‘can he do it or not?‘ I’m sure even people in the team were wondering. I was quick in testing but racing is a different thing. People wait for you to fail.

“I think this year is slightly easier. People know how well I can drive. I’m not going into an unknown world,” said Hamilton.
