Lewis Hamilton Q&A: Reviewing his first season at Mercedes and hopes for 2014

Mercedes driver ready for a repeat of 2006 in his winter preparations

Lewis Hamilton

After the season-ending Brazilian GP, Lewis Hamilton reflects on his race and his first season at Mercedes.

On the subject of having things to improve upon, do you think testing will help?
LH: "Testing and working with the engineers in the factory...I feel like I am going to have a winter a bit like 2006 going into 2007." You means in terms of preparation?
LH: "Yes." Losing third place to Mark Webber in the championship, does that bother you?
LH: "I don't care! It doesn't really matter. At the end of the day he should be there because his car was so much faster all year. In my position where I was [fourth] I would have stayed ahead. We would have been equal [on points] actually but I would have been ahead because I had a win. "But it's not a big deal; you don't get a bonus for it and winning is the only one that counts. Second place in the Constructors' was the most important because that was what the team deserved and I really wanted to contribute to that."
