Lewis Hamilton got the perfect end to the Silverstone test by
topping the times on the final day of work ahead of next week’s British
Grand Prix.
The McLaren driver, taking over from teammate Heikki Kovalainen, set
the quickest time of the week with a best lap of 1:19.170, outpacing
Toyota’s Timo Glock by over six tenths of a second.
Glock had a positive day of work despite being involved in an
accident with David Coulthard, the duo making contact at the Hangar
straight.
"It was a misunderstanding – when I turned in at the end of the Hangar Straight David was there," explained Glock.
"I just didn’t see him so I apologise for that. The mechanics did a
really good job to get the car back into shape and they worked hard all
day because we had a lot to do.
"We’ve made a good step in the last couple of weeks and the last two
results have given the team a boost. Now we have to keep up the form at
Silverstone next week."
The strong wind again caused problems for the teams, although there was no rain despite a cloudy sky for most of the day.
Only Hamilton and Glock lapped the British track in less than 80
seconds today, with Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen third fastest with a time
of 1:20.321…
