Hamilton does not want to give up

Lewis Hamilton had regained third place, just before Mark Webber caught him in a corner. Lewis Hamilton retired for the third time in just four races, allowing race winner Fernado Alonso, to take second place in the Championship occupied by the driver McLaren. If from now on, no further errors are allowed, Lewis Hamilton will also have to produce a strong end to the season to snatch the title.

The 2008 World Champion knows that it will be difficult to regain the 20 points that separate him from the title before the end of the season. “ There are still four races to go, but I didn't expect what happened in the last two races (abandonments at Monza and Singapore), especially at this stage of the season » admitted Jenson Button's teammate. “ I will do what I can, but a gap of 20 points is still important. »

The McLaren driver avoids focusing on the Championship standings, and prefers to concentrate on the races themselves, where he knows he has nothing left to lose. “ I will continue to fight until the end, but there is now a long way behind us ", he added. " It will be a tough battle for the next four races. » Lewis Hamilton now hopes that his luck will change, knowing that Fernando Alonso is on reprieve since he has used all his engines. But Mark Webber shows flawless consistency in this final straight, and he will be even harder to catch.
