Hamilton aims more points in Spain

British sensation Lewis Hamilton hopes to score points again in the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix. The McLaren driver so far finished all three races on the podium, but remains realistic and mainly targets points in the fourth round of the F1 championship.

Hamilton is raring to go for the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix. Looking ahead of the race at Circuit de Catalunya he said: "It seems to have been a very long time since we last raced, and I cannot wait to get back in my car and back to the action.

"There has not been any relaxing on our part though, when I returned to the UK I had a couple of days before returning to the McLaren Technology Centre to work with the team on the development programme. This break has also given us the opportunity to get some serious physical training in. During the races, it is more about maintaining fitness levels, when we have a couple of weeks we can really focus on improvements in performance."

Speaking about Circuit de Catalunya Hamilton said: "The track is great to race on, it will be interesting to see how the new chicane affects this. I enjoyed the GP2 weekend last year, where I achieved a second and fourth place, and am looking forward to fighting for more points for myself and the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team."
