Hill, who was world champion in 1996, believes Hamilton's McLaren team are being handicapped as a result of the spy scandal that rocked the sport last season.. So while both Hamilton and new team-mate Heikki Kovalinen both made positive sounds about the MP4-23 when it was launched in Germany earlier this month, Hill id doubtful the troubled marque will be able to challenge Ferrari this time around. "I'm extremely concerned that McLaren are being made to fight with one arm tied behind their back this year," said Hill. "They were given a £50 fine following last year's spying row and they've since been obliged to drop certain areas of development." "Even when they had everything going for them last year, they lost the championship. I find it hard to see how this year's winner is going to be anything other than a Ferrari." January 15th, 2008 |
