Hamilton Not Despair



Lewis Hamilton has not given up to pursue a world title Formula 1 (F1) 2010. Although now lags behind 28 points from driver Red Bull Racing, Mark Webber, who lead the standings, Hamilton remains optimistic that can bring surprises in the last three series

this season.

Hamilton tried to see the events of 2007 that are similar to the conditions now, when Kimi Raikkonen finally became world champion. The results are dramatic season (2007) was the inspiration, and make this the McLaren driver still keep up hope to embrace the second degree throughout his career.

"I'm in a situation that is more difficult, and I am fully aware of that condition. But in a situation like now, I always see more events of the 2007 season and what happened in the last two or three races," said Hamilton.

"I think Kimi (Raikkonen) was 17 points behind with the remaining two series again, but he still could gain the victory to become world champion. I've learned a lot from one opportunity that has not been enfolded the world title until the last lap so I do not want to give up. "

To realize these dreams, Hamilton, determined to achieve victory in the GP of Korea, 24 October. He believed, with a performance in Japan, McLaren still have a chance of winning at Circuit Yeongam.

"One positive thing in Japan is very simple that I can go finish, won a lot of points, and still maintain the title chances of the world. We have seen that, during this year's competition, we need to look very consistent so that every point is achieved very valuable. "

"I want to win again and I went to Korea with a belief can do. And, who knows what happened. If the other competitors who failed to gain points, then I am back on track the most good."

Hamilton admitted, "luck" is still overshadowed his performance in Japan due to finish in fifth place. In fact, his car was damaged in Friday practice and was ranked three qualifications, but must start from eighth position due to a penalty of five grid. This happened because the team changed the gearbox of his car.

Also during the race, his car had problems. All three teeth broken by the end of the race so he was forced to use only four and a tooth on it.

"Not easy at tracks like Suzuka because it is a flowing circuit. In it, you need all the traction to maintain the momentum. However, lucky, a track that includes a fairly fast. You are not too many use low gear during the race," he explained.

"I was lucky on Sunday because it makes a great distance by car is ranked sixth. That way, I can defend all five positions. The good news is, the rules allow us to change the gearbox for Korean GP, without having to accept the penalty."
