Hamilton keen to improve on ‘terrible’ run

LEWIS HAMILTON is burning with desire to step back onto the top step of the podium and help McLaren achieve “greatness” again.

Hamilton has so far endured a rollercoaster season that has resulted in frustration with the team’s decision-making in Australia and Malaysia, a brush with the law Down Under, and a penultimate lap smash in Spain following a wheel-rim failure.

Despite claiming this season he is driving the best car McLaren have built for him, even better than his 2008 title-winner, victory continues to elude the far-from-happy 25-year-old.
