As Lewis prepares himself for the coming race in Australia, his team say they will deliver some ‘drastic changes’ to ensure a win in secured at Melbourne.
McLaren team principal, Martin Whitmarsh, says that new changes are necessary if they are to succeed this year, however admits they are a risk.
“There's some risk in that but I think it was the right thing to do and we're hoping that risk comes off and the car is a lot more competitive.”
Lewis Hamilton thinks that McLaren will end Red Bull’s reign at the front of the pack and declares that they are no longer going to dominate the sport in the same way they have been.
"For many, many years it has been McLaren and Ferrari at the front and now we have got a new team that has come and knocked us off the top. But I am really certain that either team will do absolutely everything in their power to make sure they can remain at the top.”
He added: “They [Red Bull] have not been there as long as our teams. Our teams have got status they would like to keep.”
However Hamilton showed concern that the performance of his car won’t be up to pace Red Bull has set in testing, saying: “Red Bull will have improved their reliability from last year," he said. "They will have the pace and the reliability this year, as will Ferrari. Those two are definitely the hardest to beat.”
The 2011 Formula One season starts on March 27 in Melbourne.
