Hamilton looking forward to home race

Lewis Hamilton can't wait to get back to Silverstone again for round eight of the 2009 Formula One world championship. The Briton is not expected to win his home Grand Prix like he did in 2008 but the McLaren driver is excited to visit the track again.

"The two greatest things about racing at Silverstone are the fans and the track itself," said Hamilton. "It's great to see and meet people from all across the country and the world who have made the journey to Silverstone for the Santander British Grand Prix. When I'm in the car, I can actually see the fans around the circuit waving banners and cheering. It's as if they were racing every lap with me - incredible!

"Driving the track is incredible too. I love Silverstone - it's an amazing place to drive. Copse, Becketts and Bridge are all absolutely fantastic, flat-out corners that really show you the power and grip of a Formula 1 car. It's a perfect place for the race, so let's hope it's not the last time we race at this track."
