Report: Hamilton not happy with Rosberg interview
26 September 2016 by    1 min read

Lewis Hamilton may be a double world champion and arguably the best driver on the gird, but he admits it is going to take a massive effort for him to win the drivers title this year.

The Englishman trails Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg in the standing by seven points after the German won three races in a row.

Hamilton has had the better of Rosberg since they partnered up in 2013, but admits he is up against it in the final three races this year.

"We're both fiercely competitive. Some weekends he does great, some weekends I do great. I have no idea if the momentum will swing back to me or when it might.

"But we still have six races left, so I just have to keep giving it my all and hope for the best.

"It's going to take some good results to get back in front and stay there - but I've had plenty of those in the past, so there's no reason to think they won't come back to me again."
