After winning the British Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton has vowed that his best is yet to come.
The reigning world champion currently leads with 17 points ahead of team-mate Nico Rosberg, however despite of his recent win and taking over the number 1 spot at Formula1. Hamilton believes - that there is more yet to come as he bids to retain his title.
"It's five wins out of nine and I've had eight poles out of a possible nine," he said. "Last year was exceptional for me, and to think that I'm doing it just as much as that, but probably even a little bit better this year, I didn't think I could do that."
Next race for the Formula One circus arrives in Hungary in three weeks' time, Hamilton has admitted his anticipation to get going again.
"Hungary has been a great track for me in my career, so I'm excited about that," stated the 30-year-old. "I'll be training like crazy over the break to make sure I'm strong for the next part of the season.
"Generally, in my career, the second part of the season has always been stronger for me."
Speaking about the importance of making the decision to pit and switch to wet tyres, he stated:
"It was 100 per cent confidence in my mind in terms of making the decision. You can't half-arse it, you either do or you don't.
"In all honesty, I've never felt that was a strength of mine in Formula One, making those types of calls. Generally because the driver only has one view of everything and the guys outside have a better view, and so usually I would rely on the team.
"Definitely, in the past, there were times when they got it right and sometimes when they got it wrong. I do not know how the future is going to go with that, but I am glad I have ticked that one off."
"I am happy. It's come together since last year but I'm definitely enjoying it more now. I'm enjoying life, and racing, more than ever."
