Hamilton in the cool box
LEWIS HAMILTON knows he needs to remain in control if he is to become Formula One world champion on Sunday.
Hamilton stands on the brink of becoming the youngest person to claim the title, only the second driver to win the championship in his second season and the first Briton to take the crown since Damon Hill 12 years ago.
The pressure on the shoulders of the 23-year-old is likely to be considerable come the start of the season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix.
He carries into the race a seven-point lead over his only rival in home hero Felipe Massa, aware he need only finish in the top five to realise his dream.
Hamilton said: "I know I have a really tough battle ahead of me, so it's important I remain in control emotionally and mentally."
