The British driver Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes), leader of the individual classification of the Formula One world motorsport championship, said today in Sao Paulo that he dreams of women instead of thinking about the double score of the Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi, where it will be defined the season title.
“I think the rule is a bit strange, but it is the same for everyone. I don’t dream all day and night about it. The truth is, I only dream of women. I dream of Nicole (Scherzinger, his girlfriend) and not of racing and in those dreams Nico (Rosberg) has no role, ”Hamilton told reporters at the Interlagos Autodrome.
With the old rules, Hamilton, first with 316 points, would only need to add one more this Sunday in the Brazilian Grand Prix – the penultimate race of the season – to win his second world title, after his consecration in 2008 with McLaren.
However, the modification of the rules will grant a double score in the last race, on November 23 in the United Arab Emirates, with which his teammate, the German Nico Rosberg, has a mathematical chance of opting for the title.
Winner of the last five races of the season, the most recent the previous Sunday in Austin (United States), the Briton hopes to achieve his first triumph at Interlagos, which despite never having won gave him the title of the season in 2008.
«My way of approaching this weekend (the Brazilian Grand Prix) is not going to change much. I came to the last races planning to win and I am going to continue like this. I know this is the most intense part of the year and I feel relaxed and excited about everything, ”he said in the Mercedes garages.
Hamilton challenged reporters to look him in the eye to see that he is not “afraid” to compete in the last two races of the year and claim the 2014 title.
“I feel like I am in this position because of the work I did and not because of luck or circumstances. I will do my best and so the year does not end as I imagine, I will know what I did and I will be calm, “he stressed.
Compared to the driver he was in 2008, Hamilton commented that he is now more equipped and his growth was more as a person.
“When you get to a new race, you have to face the same or even more difficulties or obstacles,” emphasized the pilot, who during these days in Brazil has met relatives of his idol in motorsport, the late Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna , and with followers of Corinthians. EFE
