Lewis Hamilton does not believe the new McLaren Formula One car is able to mount a title challenge in this year's championship.


Following Jenson Button's downbeat comments earlier in the week, the McLaren MP4-26 appears to be struggling to keep up with Red Bull and Ferrari cars. The new car has had a number of problems, including at this week's final pre-season testing in Barcelona.


Button was 0.366 seconds slower than Red Bull rival Mark Webber's best time in testing at Barcelona, and then suffered exhaust problems. Hamilton was fourth, but spent large amounts of time in the garage with various reliability issues.
