Valencia still a puzzle for Hamilton

LEWIS HAMILTON will continue to piece together his Valencia Street Circuit jigsaw puzzle today as he bids to strengthen his Formula One world championship lead.

Hamilton ended the first two 90-minute practice sessions ahead of tomorrow’s European Grand Prix with the fifth-best time of the day behind Ferrari’s world champion and title rival Kimi Raikkonen.

The Finn set a time of one minute 39.477 seconds for the 5.4km track that winds its way through the marina of Spain’s third-largest city, with Hamilton 0.235 seconds adrift.
