The Briton is two points clear of Ferrari driver Felipe Massa going into this weekend's Italian Grand Prix at Monza but the star of the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team isn't ready to kick back and relax just yet.

He's determined to shine in Italy and said: 'Monza is unique: you can literally feel the history of the place, and it is really, really close to my heart.'

Victory: Lewis Hamilton celebrates victory in Belgium ...

...before this corner-cutting earned him a 25-second penalty and demotion to third

Hamilton kicked off the 2008 season in style when winning the first Grand Prix in Melbourne, having qualified on pole.

Despite dramatically destroying his car in practice and having to drive under a spare chassis, he still managed to roar into third place in Bahrain, and was back on the podium yet again at the Spanish Grand Prix.

But he insists the best is yet to come. He and teammate Heikki Kovalainen are promising double trouble for all-comers both at Monza and at the Singapore Grand Prix on September 28.

The latter especially marks a milestone in F1 history, being the first ever night race and Sportsmail has an exclusive Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Teamcast on Hamilton's pre-Monza thoughts and how much he is looking forward to that Singapore test.

All this as well as lookback on last month's incredible win at Monaco, his thoughts on the rest of the season-not to mention a crafty peek at some of the pictures he keeps on his mobile.

Hit the link below and be first past the flag with the hottest Hamilton hype.
