Chasing down Jenson Button for second place at Monza, Hamilton put too much of the front-left wheel of his McLaren on a kerb and was sent spinning into a tyre wall. The reigning world champion apologised to his team after the race for throwing away a guaranteed six points, albeit insisting he was raised to never give up.

"I know I'm out of the title hunt, but I want to attack these last four races, pushing for as many victories as I can," asserted the 24-year-old ahead of this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix.

"It's just part of my character and who I am. I've just always had it, in whatever I've done, especially when it's competing.

"I've always had this something inside of me that I want to win. A will, and it just keeps me going.

"I guess we can't win the World Championship, just win races, pole positions and fastest laps for the rest of this season.

"And even if you don't win, the feeling that you gave it your all, it's such a great feeling.

"That's really what keeps me going. I genuinely don't have any of those days where I feel I don't want to push."
