Kovalainen wants to beat Hamilton

By on

McLaren driver Heikki Kovalainen has admitted to the 'Daily Mail' newspaper that he was not ready for F1 at the beginning of the 2007 season. The young Finn believes that he is ready now and he will be trying his best to beat his new team mate, Lewis Hamilton.

Kovalainen said: "I will do everything I can to beat him. I don't think I was physically and mentally ready last year. I hadn't prepared well enough. But I've already changed things to make sure it doesn't happen again.

"I will be turning up for the first Grand Prix in Melbourne in a car I feel fully comfortable in and know exactly how to set up. The increased confidence should enable me to have a good race."
