Lewis Hamilton says he is "focused" on taking his first Formula 1 victory at the Brazilian Grand Prix, as he chases down team-mate Nico Rosberg in the fight for the title.
The British driver is 19 points behind Rosberg with two races remaining, having closed the gap with back-to-back victories in the USA and Mexico.
Hamilton says he is going to keep pushing to the bitter end, knowing that things can change very quickly in F1.
“It's a great feeling when you're able to show the kind of pace I've shown at the past two races,” he said.
“Everyone has worked so hard and the car has really been faultless. The speed has been there all season – I just haven't always had the opportunity to take advantage of it.
“In terms of the championship, it's an unusual scenario to be in – fighting for something and not knowing for sure that what you do will guarantee you're able to make it.
“One outcome would be painful and the other would be a great achievement. Regardless, I'm going to keep pushing.
“Since the beginning of my Formula 1 career I've seen that everything can change even at the very last moment, so you have to fight to the bitter end. I've never won in Brazil, so I go into this weekend focused on changing that.”
