Hamilton says he will not crack under pressure in Brazil

British driving sensation Lewis Hamilton has insisted that he will not crack in Sunday's world title showdown in Brazil.

The McLaren star last night admitted the pressure got to him in Sao Paulo in last year's title fight. Hamilton, 23, needs only to finish in the top five to be sure of pipping Ferrari's Felipe Massa to the crown.

"It's quite a bit different to last year. Then, we came here and I'd had one bad race in China so it was all a bit hectic. The pressure of being at the last race was on me and perhaps it got to me. But this year I feel that it's just another race and we have come from a great race in China," The Sun quoted Hamilton, as saying.

Hamilton missed out on last year's title by one point despite going to Brazil with a seven-point lead over Kimi Raikkonen.

He was hit by gearbox trouble and finished down in seventh.

This time the Brit is seven points clear of Massa but he insisted: "I've not come here to finish down the order, but obviously I know that it is not do or die. I know I have a strong package and hopefully I can win the race." Hamilton believes Sunday's race will be a fair fight between him and Massa with no other drivers influencing the outcome.

"I believe every driver that's here is a great sportsman and we're all very competitive. I just have to trust and believe in everybody and hope that we can have a fair, straight race. That's what motor racing is all about and that's why I race, that's what makes it so exciting," Hamilton added.

talk about being cocky Stunbeam,so because there is no hate sites for other successful athletes frm all races and different sports and there is one about Hamilton means that he is not successful or he sucks or whatever and those other people don't? on what bases did you come to that conclusion? on the basis that you and not even nearly 1% of f1 fans think that he sucks? and we should forget about the official F1 statistics that say otherwise?
in two yrs he has outscored two rivals who were in a better car than him and am not gonna include Alonso because the renault sucked this year and despite whatever conspiracy theory you may believe Hamilton matched Alonso in points....

Hey Stunbeam, me again, CREDITED not CRIDITED, you tw#t

[stunbeam]

@ hamilton rules - think of a list of people who are successful and can clearly be cridited with being brilliant at their sport, of all ethnic backgrounds.

Now stop. Now check out if there are sites such as this one in their names. Now think why. Now conclude that we could just as easilly be jealous of them as they earn vast sums. We're not. Neither are we jealous of lewser. We don't like him. How unbelievably stupid are you? Luckilly you supporters are so incredibly narrow-minded and stupid that we have no difficulty whatsoever in answering your repetitive and boring posts. Keep em coming!!!!

Lewis Halmiton claimed that his gearbox failed in the last race last year, yet still there are a thousand of videos slowed down so that you can see him press the pit stop limiter.
