Hamilton: I want more

Nearly a fortnight has passed since his title win in Mexico, but he has still not yet really processed his memorable performance.

"Honestly it hasn't sunk in yet," said Lewis on Thursday in São Paulo. "We still have two races to go. I think that's probably why it's not sunk in, because I'm still in the frame of mind that we still have to win and the job is not done yet."

"Naturally, I have been able to enjoy it a little bit, but it still hasn't sunk in. I have been going on with my life the same as I always have. But right now, the focus is on making sure we try to secure the world title for the team. That is the key for over a thousand people at the factory, who are working so hard. That is the thing that means the most to them."

"It is the most important thing. That is the number one priority at the beginning of the year. That is what the guys work for."

However, the early title win in Mexico has not changed the load resting on his shoulders: "Honestly, I feel no difference, coming here this weekend. I still want to win the race. Generally, I perform the best under pressure, so maybe I subconsciously allowed the pressure to remain the same. I have not won here in Brazil for a long time, and I want to win here."

Lewis isn't sure why he has only registered one race victory at the Auodromo Jose Carlo Pace but he's determined to add to that this weekend: "I don't really know why I haven't won here more. I can't really explain it. It is a difficult track. It is lots of different circumstances. I am grateful for the one win I have, but naturally, I want more."
