Lewis Hamilton might look like he is sitting pretty at the top of the Formula One driver's championship - but that's not how it feels for the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport Team driver.
Lewis has built up a 34-point lead over Sebastian Vettel in the points table - but that is also partly thanks to some bad luck falling the Ferrari driver's way during the last two races in Singapore and Malaysia. Although Lewis capitalised with a victory in Sepang and was second in Malaysia, Lewis is preparing himself for a fight at this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix.
Suzuka is thrilling circuit which is always highly-rated by F1 drivers, however, it could also prove to be a stiff test for the Silver Arrows, with Red Bull and Ferrari both expected to be strong. And with 125 points still on offer before the end of the season, Lewis knows that preparation is key and says he is fully focused on making sure he stays in front in the championship.
