Lewis Hamilton stated that he is trying to ignore as much as possible the racism that has affected Formula 1 in recent weeks.

« It’s not really something I would like to comment on. I’ve moved on and I’m looking forward to the first race, » said Hamilton at a press conference following the Laureus Awards ceremony.

The McLaren driver, second in the championship last year, has already changed his outlook on racing and admits that he will be looking to win more Grand Prix in 2008.

« The first Grand Prix is on the horizon and the feeling I have about the car is good, the team feels good, and I feel good, and that’s all that matters, » added Hamilton.

« My goals would be to win more races. We need to change the finish of our races. Last year, we were very, very close to finishing each race, so we need to try to improve with more pole positions, more fast laps, and then the main goal is to win the world championship. »

« It’s going to be a difficult season and in no way will we have any ease even if we work tirelessly. »

« But I feel even more confident than last year with more determination, because I know what to expect, I know how to manage my time better and how to drive better, so I am very optimistic, » he continued.

Hamilton benefited from a sensational start to the 2007 season, winning a total of four races before losing the title by just one point.

And although it will not be easy for him again this year to repeat the feat, Hamilton claims he can create a surprise.

« I still plan to take everyone by surprise. Of course, in this season, all my competitors and their teams know what I can do, but I still have more than one trick up my sleeve. »
