Hamilton's Turn For Malaysian Glory

SEPANG (Selangor, Malaysia), March 28 (Bernama) -- Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team driver's Lewis Hamilton (left) has never won the Malaysian Grand Prix, and he has come to Sepang this weekend determined to correct that omission. "I do want some points. It's a very long, long year ahead, but naturally I don't want to get too far behind," he said. His team mate Nico Rosberg's triumph in Melbourne leaves Hamilton feeling very confident that his team could win the race in Sepang. "It's pretty cool that Nico won the race. That's awesome. He drove a great race, and when you're leading you have good downforce and no traffic, it's easier to do it when you have those circumstances. "I don't think I've ever finished a race with a lead that big. I've had some good results here, but obviously I've not won. "The challenge every time I come is to win, and this is the most extreme track for us because everybody has to open up their cooling to the limit and it's a real test of driveability and performance, but this is perhaps the year that I have the best car to do it so I'm hoping that we have a chance to capitalise on that," he said. Hamilton said that after Infiniti Red Bull Racing domination of the last four years he would be quite comfortable if Mercedes were to take over that position. "We exist to win and our job is to keep scoring points for our team, but people want to see battles and overtaking. I’m sure even Sebastian (Vettel) wouldn't really want to win everything," said Hamilton of Britain. (photoBERNAMA) --BERNAMA
