'Frustrated' McLaren driver Hamilton calls for probe following Bahrain blunders |
McLaren ace driver Lewis Hamilton has demanded an investigation
following the blunders during the Bahrain Grand Prix, and believes his team has
to go back to the drawing board to re-ignite their championship credentials this
season. The former Formula One champion has cancelled all his plans so that he
can participate in a three-day testing session at Mugello , Italy , next week
to get to the bottom of the team's set-up problems. He has already called publicly
for another detailed investigation, which is the team's second since racing began.
Not only were McLaren outlandishly uncompetitive at Sakhir circuit, but they have
also been hampered by a string of errors and problems since the season began.
At Bahrain , they had trouble in all three of Hamilton 's pit stops and Jenson
Button's exhaust broke. "I'm not down to do the Mugello test at the moment. But
that might change. I need to get back in the car. If there are other things to
test or ways to figure it out I will be the one to do it, not let someone else
do it," The Daily Mirror quoted Hamilton , as saying. McLaren would consider them
fortunate, as there is a three-week break to the fifth round in Barcelona on May
13. "We need the gap because we have a lot of work to do. There aren't a lot of
positives we can take from Bahrain but we have to go back to the drawing board
because we're losing time," Hamilton said. "If anyone can fix it it's us. I'm
sure everyone's frustrated but we have to think positive. There is no quick fix.
We really have to make some big improvements to the car because the qualifying
pace is there but the race pace, at least in Bahrain , was miles off," he added.
