BBC analyst Gary Anderson believes Lewis Hamilton can "win races and the championship this year" with his new Mercedes team.

Remarking on Hamilton's "fantastic" body language, Anderson feels that having been "treated as a boy" at McLaren, the 2008 world champion will become a "man" this term.

On the penultimate day of pre-season testing at the Circuit de Catalunya, the Mercedes driver recorded a lap of one minute 20.558 seconds, the fastest time of the winter so far.
