P1 Come on!!! Now F1 2013 has gone past half season. And the titles are still possible: Lewis only few points from Kimi and Alonso. And from the leader Hamilton - Vettel: 48 points behind. Mercedes - RB: 69 points behind. Mercedes- Ferrrari: 14 points ahead. Mercedes-Lotus: 25 points ahead. Asked whether the championship was now a realistic consideration, Hamilton said:

"Of course, it's definitely in the back of my mind.

"When I signed I didn't think I would win a race this season. [Now] we've had the hottest race of the whole year and we had a performance like we did.

"It definitely gives me confidence for the next nine races [that] we can continue moving forward and have some more good opportunities to win, especially when we go to Spa where it's cooler [which] might be better for us."

"There is no better feeling for a team to go into a break than to win," Hamilton said.

"I was lucky enough to do it with McLaren. It was always a real good boost for them to go into that period of time relaxed, knowing we'd had a win.

"I feel it will do the same for this team, [as it is] the first time they have had that feeling going into a break. It's a big boost for us.

"Maybe we have a better chance of moving forward these next few races.

"It definitely picks you up - for the next few days it will keep me right on a high.

"Normally I don't really train much over the summer break, but this time I'm going to train intensely and hopefully come back stronger for the second half of the season."

Hopefully we can keep this year's pace of developement going and claw back that deficit. Although they are a relatively new bunch, I have every confidence in our designers doing just that with the excellent input from Lewis and Nico.

No doubt there's a huge amount of confidence around the team unlike in previous years when the whole thing was just wrong. Nikki and Toto have made a huge different and should be applauded, particularly for getting rid of some obvious dead wood.

Now, let's go win a Championship.

Well done Lewis. New driver, new era.
