Hamilton ready to lead McLaren

28 December 2007

Lewis Hamilton says he is ready to step up and lead the McLaren team in 2008, now that he is the team's retained driver and his new team mate is Heikki Kovalainen.

"Politics-wise 2007 was a disaster but that is the business, there is nothing you can do about it," Hamilton told the BBC. "You won't see a season quite like it again but I hope next season is just as exciting without the politics."

"For me it's great, I'm almost seen as the leader of the team and hopefully I can do the job," he added.
