British racing driver Lewis Hamilton has McLaren test
British racing driver Lewis Hamilton drove well in his first open test session since McLaren said he would be their second driver for the next season.
Lewis Hamilton, 21, finished in sixth place in a time of one minute, 18.241 seconds and regular McLaren test driver Pedro de la Rosa was second.
"It was a really positive day and I enjoyed every moment of it," said Lewis Hamilton and he added:
"I have done four test days with McLaren but there was a lot of weight on my shoulders before.
"Now it is out in the open, we can get on with developing the car.
"To come here knowing that I am the driver for next year meant I could really knuckle down on bonding with the team and my engineer and get on top of the car and up to pace."
However, Lewis Hamilton's fast rise - he won the GP2 championship this year - has been criticised in some quarters with Red Bull's David Coulthard saying McLaren "have given him his break way too soon".
