    REPORTING FROM KUALA LUMPUR

    Former world champion Lewis Hamilton says he has no regrets above leaving McLaren and joining the Mercedes-Petronas team this year.

    Speaking ahead of this Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang, the 28-year old Briton -- who finished a respectable fifth at the season-opening Australian GP -- said he's happy about his new team and feels there's no need to make any comparisons.

    “I don’t look at McLaren and feel happier. I do know that it’s a fantastic team and they have got great facilities and great people working there so I have no doubts that they have always been very strong at catching up and moving forward," Hamilton told media during a briefing at the PETRONAS Twin Towers on Wednesday.

    However, the biggest difference is that a rental kart was used for that, while this time, professional race karts were used. With a lot more horsepower, a race kart is much harder to drive than the rental karts with higher speeds and increased G-forces.

    Teaming up with new team-mates for the SKE, the QRT line-up consisted of Carrie Choy, Michelle Kuek, Tan Su-Anne and myself.

    Carrie, 35, a banker by day, is a regular face in the Singapore Karting Championship where she races under local karting outfit Veritas Racing. She also engages in Muay Thai and golf regularly.
