Lewis Hamilton has made it clear he is feeling the pressure in the fight for the championship. Heading into the business part of the season, the British driver has a 24-point lead over rival Sebastian Vettel.
The Mercedes team have had it relatively easy over the past four years. By this point, they're usually about to place one hand on the trophy. This year it's different. Speaking in a conference at the Spa circuit Hamilton stressed how he feels the pressure.
"The pressure on me is as great as it can be," the four-time World Champion said.
"We're fighting against Ferrari, which is a historic team, they've not won a World Championship for a long while. Whilst we have, we want to win equally as much, if not more."
