Hamilton: We need to stay focussed

29 September 2008

Lewis Hamilton has increased his lead in the Formula One championship on Sunday to seven points on Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton. The Briton tries to stay calm though with three races to go in the 2008 F1 championship and take it one race at a time.

"It's all about scoring points now," Hamilton said. "We came here (Singapore) with a one point lead, and I could see that the Ferraris were very competitive this weekend and Felipe was driving very well, so I knew it would be very tough to beat them. 

"Especially after the start I was just behind him and it seemed like he would perhaps be going to the same lap as me, so it just showed that his qualifying lap was phenomenal. So it would have been tough to score more points than him in this race but fortunately the race had a couple of incidents in it which didn't benefit them but we did a solid job and came back with the points, so moving forward I think we approach it the same as we have this weekend and definitely don't get ahead of ourselves because, as you can see, lots of things can happen, so we just focus on doing a solid job, scoring more points hopefully."
