00517499

Lewis Hamilton won the race to the "Interlagos", but that does not mean he lost the world title. Mercedes driver finished second to his teammate Nico Rosberg in the Brazilian Grand Prix and so continues to lead in the Drivers' standings. Hamilton made a mistake in the 28th lap after he left the track two laps after the second pit stop of Rosberg.  The first was great, recording the fastest time, but not the second. World champion turned in a right turn - a mistake that cost him seven seconds. "I think this mistake cost me the win. I was much faster so far, and since no one stopped, won another second. The blame was entirely mine," said Hamilton. The truth is that if Hamilton had not rotated, would return to the track just half a second ahead of his teammate. "Of course I'm disappointed, but it felt great on the track today. Do not be delivered, make up for lost and continued to press." Mercedes heard to apologize Hamilton radio to stop because Lewis expected to remain more laps on the track with these tires: "Usually the protocol is so, or at least was that when you say pressing, whereas after this tour will go into boxing. I was a little surprised. The rear tires were completely gone at the end of the previous lap. but overall it was not such a big problem. We lost few points today, but it was definitely the fastest. on the other hand, finished first and second , broke the record as a team, so I really enjoyed the race, "added Lewis.
