Peter Bonnington reveals the secrets behind his hugely-successful partnership with Lewis Hamilton

[@sc1788]

Bono is so calm with Lewis, the perfect engineer. When Lewis' tyre went at Silverstone this year he didn't raise his voice once and just gave Lewis the information he needed. Perfect combination.
