Lewis Hamilton reckons it is still “way too early” for him to consider winning the world championship in his rookie season, despite his outstanding start to his Formula 1 career.
The 22-year-old McLaren sensation heads in to the year’s seventh round at Indianapolis this weekend eight points ahead of team-mate Fernando Alonso at the top of the standings, following his maiden win in Montreal.
However Hamilton has once again reiterated that he expects to face difficulties during the campaign, adding that this season is still a learning experience for him.
“To be honest, I try not to focus on that [the title],” he said in Thursday’s press conference at Indianapolis.
“I think I came into the season with a very open mind and being realistic of the fact that I am a rookie and I've got a lot to learn.
“It is still very steep learning curve, and yes, I have a great opportunity to be in the best team and have one of the best drivers to compare myself to.
“But I still feel there's going to be times during the season which will be some lows, some highs, and I think it's way too early.
“Eleven races to go, I think it's way too early to even start thinking about the championship.
“Each time I go out in the car, I learn something new.
“I'm always learning bit by bit and I will continue throughout the season.”
While the Briton’s Montreal win pushed him ahead of Alonso, it also dramatically increased his margin in the championship over Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen – as Ferrari struggled for pace on the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
However the Italian squad has only been beaten once at Indianapolis since the US GP was revived in 2000 and Hamilton is expecting that record to count for something this weekend.
“Possibly, after the last race they were probably scratching their heads and definitely focusing very hard to improve for the next race,” he said.
“In only a week you can't make too many improvements.
“But I don't know why they weren't as quick as us last weekend.
“As you can see they've been very quick here in the past few years so surely they'll be quick here.
“But fingers crossed we will be able to match them.”
