Lewis Hamilton says he is fully focused on the next Grand Prix in Germany and says his dominant win at Silverstone has not really taken the pressure off him.
"Pressure always exists because you need to win consistently," Hamilton said. "In Formula 1, you're only as good as your last race and Silverstone already felt like an old memory by the time I was testing at Hockenheim on Tuesday. Generally, however, a race win briefly takes the load off everyone's shoulders because it allows you to push forward without looking back at the problems you may have faced in the previous race. But you can never get complacent and we'll be pushing hard again in Germany next week."
"I was at Hockenheim in 2005 when I won a Formula 3 EuroSeries race and in 2006 with GP2 when I finished second and third. It's actually quite a straightforward circuit to get into, and it helps that our car just feels so awesome at the moment," he added. "There's a bit of everything around here and it's quite fun to throw the car into some of the high-speed corners, like Turn One and Turn 12 - the high-speed right-hander into the stadium section."
