    HAMILTON AND ROSBERG ON KARTS AT LONATO

    TEN YEARS AFTER, HAMILTON AND ROSBERG ARE BACK


    ON KARTS AT LONATO WITH DINO CHIESA AND CRG
    THE TWO F1 DRIVERS LEWIS HAMILTON AND NICO ROSBERG, WHO RACED FOR CRG AND DINO CHIESA IN
    2000 AND 2001, SPENT A WHOLE DAY DRIVING KARTS LIKE THEY USED TO DO IN THE OLD GOOD DAYS
    ON THE ‘SOUTH GARDA CIRCUIT’, AT LONATO. HAMILTON TESTED THE ‘LH’ CHASSIS PRODUCED BY CRG.
    NICHOLAS, LEWIS’S BROTHER, AND THE NEW KARTING STAR NICK DE VRIES WERE WITH THEM.

    Lonato (Brescia – Italy), 25th


    January 2010. F1 drivers
    Nico Rosberg and Lewis
    Hamilton, who used to race
    together for CRG and Dino
    Chiesa’s team a few years
    ago, went back on a kart last
    Friday, both to get some fun
    and for a small training
    session for next F1 season.
    The two drivers met on the
    ‘South Garda Karting
    Circuit’, welcomed by their
    former team manager Dino
    Chiesa, for a full immersion
    day in karting.
    Both Hamilton and Rosberg,
    before their d€but in car-
    racing, used to race together for the
    MBM team (acronym of Mercedes Benz
    McLaren) in 2000 and 2001, with CRG
    chassis; in those years they even took
    part in the Italian Championship Open
    Masters. With Dino Chiesa and CRG,
    Hamilton became Formula A European
    Champion in 2000, with Rosberg crossing
    the line for second.
    Hamilton, who turned 25 few days ago
    and is about to race for McLaren for the
    4th season, could test the ‘LH’ chassis,
    recently developed by CRG thanks to
    2008 F1 World Champion’s advice and
    technical specs.
    Top page picture: Hamilton in action at Lonato with the LH Rosberg, who is racing for Mercedes this
    chassis by CRG. Above: Hamilton and Rosberg at Lonato
    year, raced on a ‘Zanardi’ chassis; he
    already had the occasion to appreciate it
    last November, on the very same circuit of Lonato together with Michael Schumacher and the young Dutch
    star Nyck De Vries. De Vries, who was together with the two F1 drivers on this occasion too, has recently
    [Digitare il testo]
    been included in the
    McLaren young driver
    development programme.
    Also Lewis Hamilton’s
    brother, Nicholas, got on a
    kart: he had lot of fun testing
    a CRG-Rotax Max.
    Lewis Hamilton concentrated
    on the driving of his ‘LH’,
    both in the KF and KZ version
    – with gears and Maxter
    engine. “I really had lot of
    fun – said Hamilton after
    racing for almost a whole
    day -. Above all, I enjoyed the
    kart with gears, which I had
    never tried before. I’ve always raced on a
    100cc without gears, and it’s been hard
    for me to adjust to the driving style the KZ
    requires. I need to get the knack of it, but
    I’ve already seen that it’s total fun. I
    obviously felt at ease with the KF, quite
    similar to my old 100cc. Anyway, it was
    wonderful to meet again with my old
    team, my brother and all my Italian
    friends.”
    Dino Chiesa was very satisfied too:
    “Meeting again on a track after almost
    ten years was a great experience. First of
    all, both Hamilton and Rosberg wanted to
    have fun, without trying to get first rate
    performances, even though they raced at
    full throttle. Nicholas Hamilton had lots of
    fun too: he didn’t want to get down of the
    kart. I think he completed almost 200
    laps… I hope to repeat this experience in a
    few months.”
