He has done more than any driver in the world. I have seen him winning those championships sitting in my home. To just drive the car that he was driving a year back is a special feeling. His shoes are huge to fill, and I hope that I am able live up to the expectation,&rdquo; said the outgoing McLaren driver.<\/p>\n<p>Talking about this weekend&rsquo;s Indian Grand Prix, he said, &ldquo;Last year there were some flaws and it was not 100 per cent but I hope organisers have worked on it and it will be a good race. Obviously it takes a few races to come up with a good circuit.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Buddh International Circuit is a fast track. The first sector is fast while the latter half is of medium-to-low speed. Degradation of rear tyres was an issue last year and we hope to cope with it. BIC is demanding when it comes to the tyres,&rdquo; added Hamilton.<\/p>\n<p>When asked, how can the Indian GP become an iconic race like Spa-Franchorchamps or Silverstone, he said, &ldquo;The track and good crowd make the race exciting. In Singapore and Silverstone, it&rsquo;s full of people. When in Spain and Montreal, the city comes alive. It&rsquo;s the fans who make it special. So if people can turn out, it can become one of the most exciting Grands Prix,&rdquo; said the 24 year old Brit.<\/p>\n<p>Indian driver Narain Karthikeyan in the past has been vocal about the slow car he is driving for HRT and Hamilton feels the same.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It is unfortunate that Narain is driving a slow car. It could do wonders for him if he joins Force India which is a pretty good team. It will be a good stepping stone for him,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am a Briton driving for a British team in a British car and it has done wonders for us so I hope it would be the same for him and India.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Samikshan Dutta Choudhury<\/strong><br \/><strong>Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-11063\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Lewis-Hamilton-ISN.jpg\" alt=\"Lewis Hamilton ISN\" width=\"290\" height=\"250\" style=\"margin: 4px;
