Lewis Hamilton has vowed to contribute to McLaren’s off-track efforts ahead of the final seven races of 2010.<\/p>\n
The team’s factory is currently closed for a mandatory two-week shutdown, so the Briton headed from a difficult race in Hungary for a holiday.<\/p>\n
But when Woking’s doors re-open, Hamilton vowed to “be on the tail of all the team, all the engineers, making sure they don’t miss anything” ahead of Spa-Francorchamps late this month.<\/p>\n
“If we were not going on holiday I would love to go straight to the factory,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I’m not an engineer but I would drag the chief designer down to the wind tunnel, question him many times and try to understand it because that is what I do.<\/p>\n
“Things I have suggested in the past have worked.\u00a0 I don’t think I am going to come up with the idea this time, but the more you ask, the easier you get to the solution,” added Hamilton.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old lost his championship lead with a gearbox failure at the Hungaroring, but the MP4-25 was off the pace all weekend.<\/p>\n
In-season testing is banned, but Hamilton says there are other ways he can influence McLaren’s push to improve.<\/p>\n
“I feel it’s just as much my job to kick them as it is for them to kick me,” he said.<\/p>\n
