McLaren hopes Hamilton can race

21 July 2007

McLaren expects Lewis Hamilton to be able to race in tomorrow's race after his crash in qualifying. Although nothing will be confirmed until he has undergone observation for a couple of hours, the team's directors believe that there is a good possibility he will be fit for the European Grand Prix.

It took track doctors 20 minutes to check the 22-year-old before putting him on a stretcher and transporting him to the circuit's medical centre. He will remain there for observation as a precaution after initial checks revealed that there were no serious injuries and thus no need to take him to hospital.

McLaren team prinicpal Ron Dennis said: "I think he's just a little shaken and we are just being careful. He is in good shape so maybe, just maybe, he can race tomorrow."

Chief operating officer Martin Whitmarsh told the ITV: "The early indications are that he should be ok for tomorrow's race."
