How McLaren could manage Hamilton better
Two-time British Grand Prix winner David Coulthard gives his frank views on McLaren's management of Lewis Hamilton and Silverstone's double DRS zone ahead of this weekend's race
The British public always loves to see a home victory at Silverstone. So for the second year in a row that means the responsibility lies with McLaren, as Force India is not yet close to providing Paul di Resta such an opportunity. But in the past couple of races Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button have been left wanting as Ferrari has popped up as Red Bull's closest challenger.
There is clearly some frustration from the drivers - both Lewis and Jenson are world champions and they both want to win - especially at home. It's not looked good the past couple of races, so the team needs something for Silverstone to regain its drivers' confidence.
