Interview with AS Magazine, Spain

An hour later he arrives with his smile of apology and illuminates the room a few feet away a fellow team-mate Button interview that suddenly seems smaller. Lewis Hamilton, hated or loved, is a star, one of those elect who are capable of blowing people to thrill. Also otherwise. For others. Hamilton, the wicked blessed with AS spoke of racing, history and life. Time, fear, happiness, future, and live very quickly ...

What earlier this year thought it would be possible to be so close to Red Bull?

Somehow I knew, was very clear, that we would again have the chance to win. The question was, when and where? Well here we are ... Maybe it's the climate that favors or that we have understood the issue of tires. I really do not understand or believe that no one understands, but it is certainly a good feeling to see that the car runs better now.

Is again happy to take a McLaren ...

I have never ceased to be happy to be at McLaren, on the contrary, but I like to win, it is understandable that you want to win. McLaren is a great team, I enjoy driving, things are going well me off the track ...

And the holidays arrive at the best time of McLaren.

Yes, this is a good time, but I'm really looking forward to this break, we need it, travel is hard ... It is the season where I can catch up with friends and family.

The drivers are risking their lives by a tenth and yet lack the time despite the money, fame ...

Time is the essence of all we must make the most of every moment you have. There can be a waste of time either in life. A time to relax is fine, but do not lose it for the world, for example, in a traffic jam on this vacation. I want to make to maximize my time, some training, talks with friends, good food, healthy life, but good life.

Good plan, but not afraid of losing the rhythm of living fast?

It's a long time without driving, but the important thing is to stay in shape and not lose sight of the goal. Probably go to the simulator just before the Spa race, usually a weekend I do one day, but this time I will make two to make sure I come back fully fit. In any case now I feel confident, at ease with life ...

Do you also when in Spain?

I've never been hated in Spain. It is normal that the fans want to win Fernando, but it is every year I feel better at home, no reviews for all tastes, but I'm more comfortable because I see people who support me. I think we live in a time of misunderstanding and some people in person changed his opinion of me when I called and this is also happening in Spain.

So that people change their minds once known also says Alonso.

It certainly is not the same as you have someone you know in person. Usually tends to change his mind and that's good. Fernando is a driver very, very fast, incredibly fast, with an extraordinary talent and raw speed amazing. You know I will always give my best and bring out the best of the car. I learned a lot from him as a driver, I could improve my driving thanks to having you as a companion.

In Spain there is a theory that his arrival at the F-1 interrupted progression as a great champion Alonso. Do you think that would have won more titles without you in F-1?

I do not know, but considering I've only won a World Cup, he had only had a title less, is not it?

In the future, would you like to drive for Ferrari one day?

Right now I have no plan about it, nor part of my desires is not something that has to do. But this is a fantastic team and you never know what can happen in the future.

His idol has always been his great rival Senna and Alonso and even compared the rivalry that you have with the Brazilian and Prost. Imagine an historic race, Senna, Prost, Alonso and Hamilton, only four. Who would win?

It would be fantastic, amazing ...I do not know, everything depends on the car that we take. Would we go all the same? Depends on the year of the car ... If we were all with Ferrari, Fernando would have the advantage and if I would take her McLaren ... I can not answer that question, I can only say it would be a great, great race.

Let's simplify things. Now, who are the best drivers in Formula 1?

It is almost impossible to say for a reason, we are not all the same car. Simple as that. There are the Renault drivers, the Toro Rosso, Force India ... many are able to reach the level where we found the front. For example, when I was in F-3, Sutil was competing against me and I had to keep pushing hard because I pushed hard, like Jenson now, but Adrian is not nearly as much attention as it is in a Button different car. The same goes for Rosberg in the karting was there, about me.Nico is doing very well now, but no one compares with Jenson. The only way to know who is best to put them all in the same car, then it would be reality, I guess.

This year the World Cup is almost decided for Vettel, but if you end up winning or Alonso would be a historic comeback ...

That possibility does not even enter my thoughts. It is much easier to achieve if you do not have in mind. I can not explain very well. I am sure that Sebastian is not the whole day thinking, 'I will win the World Cup leader and I know I can win easily. " Security is really thinking, 'I have to be with the same mentality I had in the first race, I want to win the World Cup, but I have to stay focused on my work. " So it is with us, we're focused on doing better and win more races. We can not be thinking if we win so many races this or we can be champions, it's ridiculous because you never know what can happen in the next race. I will give you a clear example. When I won in China was something great, not expecting it and had a similar position at present.In the next race we were competitive, but came Monaco and was a disaster, then Montreal, another disaster. I have no idea what the hell can happen.

And then, how do you face? What is your tactic?

Getting to the grid and run. I hope I got rid of bad luck and not make the mistakes I made. If that means the end of the year I am competing for the title will be amazing. I'm always trying to do better, I have a lot of energy in the race I won in Germany. I'm trying to reach me no frustration, I have much hunger, so much, but the other riders who are at my side.Just follow my own path.

The track is one of the most aggressive, which makes some mistakes ...

I see this as something negative, something that has to change but, just like my forte. It's the best I have. I have a passion for what I do and it shows in my driving style.

It risks the same in life?

I do not know, I do risky things and am aggressive bike for example ... just drive. There are people who like to 'bungee jumping' and others like to stay home on the couch doing nothing. I am in the middle, although I have to choose, I'm more towards the end.

Did you ever feel afraid?

No. Never.

In the track play life, you fear death?

No, but I know it's there, that's a possibility, but that happens when he has to happen. None of us want, but sometimes it happens too soon. A very famous artist, Tupac, a great rapper, the best-selling in history, made a song that said 'The Good Die Young' (the good die young). I'm not saying he was good, but in the world of music has happened many, there is also Bob Marley ...

In any case, best old and successful ...

I hope so, I see my kids at least ...

What is the best feeling in a race?

(He stays a while thinking). I have it, when you cross the finish line and see the team celebrating victory after crossing the checkered flag. It's the best feeling because it is shared with the team.

Monday, 29 August 2011 @ 13:26 Lewis \| Forget About Championship Lewis Hamilton has - again - written off his chances of winning the World title after failing to finish in Belgium. Hamilton's Belgian Grand Prix came to a crashing conclusion on Sunday afternoon when he ploughed nose first into the barriers after clipping Kamui Kobayashi's Sauber. It was not the result that McLaren needed for the Championship quest as points leader Sebastian Vettel clinched the victory, extending his lead over the chasing pack. Hamilton's DNF meant he dropped to fifth in the standings, behind team-mate Jenson Button, and trails Vettel by 113 points with just 175 to play for. "Everyone should forget about the title because it is not going to happen," Hamilton said. The Brit, though, is completely writing off his season as while first may be out of reach, he can still fight for the runner-up finish as he is just 21 points behind Mark Webber who currently occupies that position. "I'll get as high up as I can in the Championship, but that's it." back to top?

Monday, 22 August 2011 @ 13:12 Spa Preview After a month out of the cockpit, I think every driver on the grid is really looking forward to racing on a track like Spa-Francorchamps, which is easily one of the greatest circuits in the world. Spa’s always been one of my favourite tracks – it’s a place where you really feel on the limit, and that’s pretty awesome in a Formula 1 car. I’m already looking forward to my first flying lap on Friday morning. Corners like Eau Rouge, Pouhon and Blanchimont are fantastic, just because they’re so fast – Pouhon, in particular, is incredible, because you’re really at the limit of the grip level, and you’re gently playing with the throttle and trying not to scrub off too much speed with the steering. Getting it right is an amazing feeling. I think we go into the race weekend in a pretty good place – we’ve won the last two grands prix and the car feels strong; we’ve worked hard to improve the set-up, so it’s really inspiring confidence at the moment, which means you can push it that little bit further, particularly in qualifying. Of course, the weekend is likely to be affected by the weather, which is always somewhat unpredictable at Spa. I’d prefer a dry race, but, to be honest, I’ll take any track condition: I just can’t wait to get back out in my car! back to top?
