Hamilton warns Button

Lewis Hamilton arrived in Sao Paulo last year as leader of the championship. In 2008, the Brazilian Grand Prix hosted the final round of the championship and therefore the final duel between Felipe Massa and Lewis Hamilton. Crowned at the end of a race full of twists and turns, the Briton remembers that he was not favored by the public. “ I must have had 2% of fans who wanted me to win while the rest were for Felipe, recognizes the pilot McLaren at the Telegraph. It was the most intense experience of my life. »

This season, the Brazilian Grand Prix is ​​only the penultimate round of the championship. But suspense is still essential, since Jenson Button can still be taken over, notably by Rubens Barrichello. Brazilian fans will therefore once again have the opportunity to see a local driver compete for the title. “ There will be a lot of support around Rubens this year because he is the child of the country », confirms Hamilton.

Concerning the fight for the title, to which we must add Sebastian Vettel, the McLaren driver believes that each driver will be focused on their race. “ Jenson, Rubens and Sebastian will only focus on their race. Each driver will approach this situation in their own way. »

Nostalgic for the suspenseful end of the season, Lewis Hamilton notes that his Brazilian Grand Prix will not be the same as in the last two years. “ It will be the first time that I arrive in Sao Paulo without being in contention for the title. But I'm here to win the race. »
