Nice to see...

From a press report (Grawniad)

Lewis said:

"It's a work in progress, but the guys back at the factory have done an incredible job to get these parts to the circuit. I've even heard of one guy working a 36-hour non-stop shift to build these parts, which is incredible.

At least he takes the time to give praise where it's due etc.

very true, you don't hear many of the other drivers doing the same..

I've always admired Lewis' attitude towards the team in that respect. Every race you see him shake hands with everyone in the garage. I reckon he's got a similar attitude at the factory.

I really hope it does some good for him! Looking at the time Lewis is doing a lot better then HK who doesnt have the same package! So hopefully a top 8 finish!

Is it possible that Heiki doesn't have the new bits for some comparison between the two, or because this chap couldn't make enough of the new bits to the deadline?

They couldn't manufacture enough that soon. So i would have thought he will have all the parts for Hungary. But it can only help with comparisons also.

Listening to Martin Whitmarsh being interviewed yesterday Lewis's car and HK's car both had new, but different development parts on so that they could compare the benefits of the two different upgrades. If I remember rightly Lewis's car had a new floor etc whereas HK's car had a new rear aero package.
