Lewis Hamilton takes 'zero comfort' from lead over Nico Rosberg

Lewis Hamilton insists that he takes no comfort from his lead over Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg in the drivers' championship.

Lewis Hamilton has insisted that he takes no comfort from his 17-point lead over Nico Rosberg at the top of the drivers' championship.

The Mercedes driver needs only a second-placed finish in Abu Dhabi to secure his second world title, but was quick to point out there there are 50 points still up for grabs.

"There is zero comfort going into the next race," BBC Sport quotes the 29-year-old. "There are 50 points to gain. The last race, you never know what's going to happen, so I'm going there to win."

Rosberg gained ground on his Mercedes teammate on Sunday when he beat him to first place in the Brazilian Grand Prix.
