Mansell says Hamilton the man to beat
March 8th, 2010 - 5:11 pm ICT by ANILondon, Mar.8 (ANI): Formula One legend Nigel Mansell is tipping Lewis Hamilton to get off to a flier at the Bahrain Grand Prix this Sunday.
Mansell believes Hamilton will leave new McLaren team mate Jenson Button in his slipstream.
The Sun quoted Mansell, as saying: “I’d give Lewis the edge for the first six races. But Jenson will settle down and compete very strongly.”
Mansell also believes Hamilton and Button, 30, must beware of the returning Michael Schumacher. (ANI)
