Lewis doesn't want people to forget who the best driver in the world is.

Q: (Ian Parkes - Autosport) Lewis, you've suffered loads before, I can think of Monaco and Belgium last year, obviously, to name but two. When you're involved in situations like this, when you walk away at the end of the Grand Prix, do you still think ‘well, I've got a ten point lead, I've still got the best car in the field?' Are they the kind of positives that you have to cling to?

LH: Sure, yeah. At the moment I can't really think of anything else at the moment. Yeah, this is a race that has been very special... close to my heart for many years and so it was very important, it was a great feeling leading the race.I had so much pace as I have for many many years, including last year. I could have easily had that gap last year as well. Today, I didn't really have to push too much, I could have doubled the lead if I needed it so on the one hand it's a good thing that I had that pace and I'm grateful for that. You live to fight another day.
