The 22-year-old from Stevenage narrowly missed out on the driver's championship in his first full season and is almost certain to be McLaren's number one driver next season after the departure of Fernando Alonso.

And now Hamilton has set his sights on winning the world title and staying with McLaren throughout his racing career, telling Radio Five Live's Sportsweek programme: "I don't know how long I will be in Formula One but the team I am with right now is the only team I want to be with. I see my career ending with them. I don't feel there is anywhere else to go."

He added: "I know the guys so well and I had a great season. They gave me a great opportunity. I want to win world championships and I want to win it for them.

"When you are in Formula One there are the top teams and I believe McLaren is a top team, so why would I make a sidestep or a back step to any other team.

"I want to be the best driver there is today."
