Lewis Hamilton says he’s ready to chase down Fernando Alonso’s title lead, and believes being the chaser rather than the chased, could work to his advantage.
“We are excited,” he told the BBC. “We have everything to gain and not too much to lose.
“Generally in any sport, and even in football if you are running up the field and you have the ball, it’s worse being chased than it is to chase.”
Whilst Ferrari have stated they’ll take a careful approach to the final two races, Hamilton is confident he can push himself to close the 21-point defecit between him and his former team-mate.
“I’m going into these last two to give it my all and I do believe I can win it,” he urged.
“If I didn’t then I shouldn’t be sitting here, I’d be at home sitting with my legs up.
“My team know that I never give up and I feel that transcends through the whole team. We are still in the fight for the last two races. It’s still possible.”
