    I was a reading an interview with David Coulthard and the question about how drivers would have to adapt to the new aero package. He said that drivers won't be able to drift as much because of the slick tires, more grip at the rear.

    Lewis Hamilton likes to have an over steery rear end, perhaps the new package doesn't suit his driving style? Maybe that is why the Macca isn't on the pace right now.
    Now is his chance to prove he can develop a car, like Alonso does.

    Mclaren are struggling because of the 09 spec rear wing, according to paddock observers. i don't think it has anything to do with slick tyres.

    I tend to agree, If this year's car's put more % of the balance into driver skill, LH will have no problem in that department..IMO.
