Hamilton: McLaren car not good enough

Lewis Hamilton says he "wants what Red Bull have" but hopes that his McLaren team can give him it.

Hamilton trails Sebastian Vettel by 89 points in this year's championship, while the German`s blistering start to the season has seen him overhaul Hamilton`s tally of 15 career wins.
The emergence of Red Bull as the sport's dominant force has seen Hamilton, the 2008 champion, linked with a move to a team he admits he is envious of.
But the 26-year-old is backing the team he has been with all his career to at least try and find a way to regain their place at the top of the pile.
"He (Vettel) has taken away my youngest champion (tag) from me and on the road he's on I hope he doesn't pull too far away in terms of wins," Hamilton told the Independent ahead of his home Grand Prix at Silverstone this weekend.
"I think the title is a long way away. That's disappointing, given the effort I've made this year. I've been training really hard, and somehow no matter how fit I am I manage to apply something more every year.
"And I know how hard the team are pushing. We've moved on massively since 2007 and '08, and our biggest quality is our ability to bounce back. But this is the third year in a row when we haven't had a car with a chance of taking the title.
"In the factory they are pushing as hard as they can, and I just apply positive pressure. I feel that I've given them a good direction of what I want to see in the car. It seems obvious: I want what Red Bull have, but it isn't as simple as that."
McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh said on Monday he was confident Hamilton would not leave a team that he "loves".
