    Before the Formula 1-race in Valencia, Lewis Hamilton got a ride in the Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid with Niki Lauda.
    In the private dialogue of world champions, the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes driver delivers insights into
    his current situation, the joy of being back up front again, and the different possibilities of application of the
    Hyrid-Technology of the Mercedes-Benz Hyrid-Technology. The Mercedes-Benz S400 Hyrid uses a similar
    KERS-Hybrid-System like the one used in the Formula 1.

    It takes a GREAT MAN to know another great man. Niki is a GREAT MAN and knows how great Lewis can be. Less than 8 minutes of conversation Niki can tell what Lewis can give to the Mercedes team and advice Mercedes to employ him.

      @@rosscowell8278 It actually does, I was obviously referring to the engine. That´s why I said "technically". You know when Mclaren won the titles with Mercedes or RB with Renault, the engine manufacturers share the title right? that´s why they are allowed to use the "F1 constructor´s champions" in their marketing campaigns.
      So before running around saying "retarded comment" (which just makes you look like a pompous prick btw), learn some history and F1.
