Lewis Hamilton Video: 'Once is not enough'

Once is not enough, says Lewis

EnterF1.com has managed to get hold of a cool new 'teamcast' video from Vodafone McLaren Mercedes which focuses on Lewis Hamilton's aims and goals ahead of this weekends Melbourne Grand Prix.

He's full of optimism but also a hint of caution as everyone in the F1 world knows that McLaren are entering the 2009 season on the back foot already. It's going to be interesting.

Lewis Hamilton starts the first of 17 Formula One Grand Prix in Melbourne on March 29th as a man under pressure. But as far as he is concerned the pressure is all from himself.

Having won the 2008 season in dramatic style the World Champion isn't satisfied and wants to win it again in 2009.

And he knows it is going to be a tough season repeating his stunning drive for Vodafone McLaren Mercedes last year.

Hamilton admitted it is going to be a long hard campaign but believes he can be better, faster, sharper and more consistent than last year.

In 2008 five wins, five podium finishes and 98 points saw him claim the championship in a dramatic climax that went down to the wire at Interlagos.

For Lewis, his team mate Heikki Kovalainen and the rest of Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, teamwork will be everything. Split second decisions on pitstops and team tactics can be make or break for a Grand Prix or even a season.
