Hamilton looking to get back on track
In Valencia
knows as well as anyone that the best way to answer criticism is to come back stronger and prove the naysayers wrong.
Odd, then, that in Valencia the McLaren driver has seemed uncertain about his intention to draw a line under a difficult month with a strong performance at this weekend's European Grand Prix.
In a television interview, Hamilton talked confidently about "turning over a new leaf", adding: "I'm looking forward to another opportunity to score points this weekend."
A few minutes later, Hamilton's mood towards the weekend had U-turned as he shrugged: "If it's another bad one, it's another bad one and there's nothing you can do about it."
It didn't look like being a bad weekend on Friday, as Hamilton .
But when he got out of the car to face the media, Hamilton again sounded flat and when asked whether he could win his first pole of the season he answered: "I'm not going to get my hopes up, that's for sure."
It is hardly surprising that Hamilton finds himself with conflicting emotions. The last two races in Monaco and Montreal have been little short of disastrous for the 2008 champion.
People often ask how I came to be the Formula 1 lady for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ website. Well, after being dragged around vintage car rallies and auto jumbles by my Dad, motor racing got under my skin. I am now a fully paid-up member of F1's travelling circus after a year on the road as part of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ team. I look forward to bringing you more on- and off-track adventures here.
