McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton heads into the upcoming Hungarian grand Prix weekend looking to make it a hat trick of victories after securing back-to-back wins in Britain and Germany.

Fans will clearly remember the 2007 Hungarian event as a defining moment in Lewis’ career after the qualifying debacle made by his then teammate, Fernando Alonso, who forced him to lose out  on his final qualifying run, however he went on to win the race anyway….

But, despite his current strong run, the young Brit is wary about making any strong predictions…

“Yes, we were strong in the last two races, but we encountered difficulties in the two before that, so it’s impossible to call it this weekend. All I can say is that our car feels fantastic at the moment and I’m really enjoying driving it: it feels like you can keep fine-tuning it to extract more performance from it, which is a fantastic feeling for any racing driver."

The Hungaroring is quite a unique circuit - what makes it stands out?

"Hungary is very different from Germany; Hockenheim is a track that allows you to slipstream and pass other drivers fairly easily, the Hungaroring is the opposite of that. Qualifying will be crucial, and strategy will also be important in determining the optimum fuel-weight for the opening stint. It will be hot and tiring too, so keeping your focus and concentration will be vital. I don’t go into this weekend surfing any particular wave of confidence: it’s such a different type of circuit that it’s difficult for anybody to feel certain about their chances."

The last two victories have given Lewis’ championship hopes considerable momentum – so is he now thinking about driving consistently with an eye on the title?

"It’s easy to say that you’ll treat each race with a certain amount of respect. But the reality is that I haven’t changed my style: it seems to work for me and I enjoy pushing hard to achieve a good result. That’s when I feel I am operating at my maximum and it’s potentially dangerous to start thinking about changing your approach at this point in the season. I’ll be honest: my approach has served me fairly well so far and I’d need to give it some serious thought before attempting to change it. Let’s just say it will be business as usual in Hungary this weekend."
