2014 World Championship favourite Lewis Hamilton has admitted that his 2008 title win "feels like a lifetime ago" as he embarks on a season in which he says he is more motivated and focused than ever to succeed.
And asked during his appearance in the Drivers' Press Conference in Melbourne if their duel could be decided by who 'wants it' more, Hamilton replied: "Possibly. It's very technical this year, everyone's in the same boat. We're always trying to find where the advantages can be between two drivers. "From race to race I think you'll see one time he's ahead, one time I'm ahead, the same as you saw last year. Obviously the goal is to be ahead all the time."
