Hamilton Aims To Win United States Grand Prix

Having won the last Formula 1 Grand Prix held in the United States in 2007, McLaren's Lewis Hamilton is aiming to take victory in next weekend's race at the brand new 'Circuit of the Americas' in Austin Texas. The Englishman, who is leaving the Woking-based team to join his old karting buddy Nico Rosberg at Mercedes next year, retired from a comfortable lead last time out in Abu Dhabi and is fully determined to end the 2012 season on a high.

"It’s crazy to think that the last United States Grand Prix was five years ago," the 27 year old said. "It’s a race I still remember like yesterday, though the nervy anticipation as I drove into the Speedway for the very first time, the thousands of supportive fans, and the fantastic car I had beneath me that enable me to take my second grand prix victory in the space of a week. For me, those were incredible, thrilling times."

"I have to admit, I’m absolutely made-up that we’re going back to the States. It’s a fantastic country and a place where our sport truly deserves to be. I think the Circuit of the Americas looks like it could also be the place that modern Formula 1 finally calls home. I’ve only driven it on the computer and in the sim, but I think it’s going to be a track that drivers enjoy, which produces some great, close racing, and which fans will quickly love. This is a new circuit, a new challenge and a new opportunity. I’m definitely looking to be the first grand prix winner at the Circuit of the Americas."
