Lewis Hamilton brushed aside his double dose of disappointment on his
first official test day of the new year.

The 23-year-old Briton twice went off the track in McLaren's new car on
the final day of a three-day session at the Jerez circuit in southern
Spain.

He blamed a lack of engine braking, and said: "Without these controls
helping you on the entry to corners, there is a lot more locking of the
rear wheels."


Jeez, bring over Bill Auberlin or Juan Montoya to show the kid how to
drive a car that has no assists.

Makes me wonder if there were under-performing drivers in recent years that would have done better if the field had always been without assists.
