Lewis Hamilton draws parallel between Mercedes W04 and 2008 title-winning McLaren

Hungarian GP winner thinks car capable of winning final nine races

Lewis Hamilton has lavished praise on Mercedes' W04 in wake of his first victory in the car at the Hungaroring, comparing it to his title-winning McLaren from 2008.

Of the remaining grands prix on the calendar, Korea, India and the season-finale in Brazil are the only three Hamilton has yet to win in his previous six F1 seasons. Furthermore, the next two races after the August recess, Spa and particularly Monza, possess the kind of high-speed straights the W04 should thrive on. "The tracks coming up should suit me," Hamilton acknowledged. "I am really looking forward to the second half of the season."
