I will focus on attacking in Brazil - Hamilton

Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Team driver, Lewis Hamilton, is very disappointed that he was unable to take his first Championship title as he was forced to retire at China. Hamilton, however, declares that he has already left this setback behind him as he is already focussing on the race in Brazil.

Lewis Hamilton said after the race: "When I got out of the car I was obviously gutted for both myself and the team. I haven’t made a mistake all year but I am over it now. There is still one race to go, so I can still do it. I made a strong start to the race and my first stop went well. Prior to entering the pit lane for my last stop I was constantly talking to the team. Although my tyres were in poor condition we took a joint decision to get through the last rain shower before changing to dry tyres. I was trying to be very careful and as a result was not really fighting aggressively with Kimi. It would have worked out perfectly, but I then made a mistake coming into the pitlane and that was it. We made the right decision, and it was just unfortunate. I will now focus on attacking in Brazil where I will do everything I can to bounce back."
