McLaren have served notice to the FIA of their intention to appeal the result of Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix despite an investigation clearing Williams driver Nico Rosberg and the BMW Saubers of Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld of fuel temperature irregularities.

But Hamilton said: "For me I want to do it on the track, and in style, by winning the race, or after battling it out for the lead. So being promoted after some people have been thrown out is not the way I want to do it. If I became world champion that way, it would feel weird."

Stewards initially discovered Rosberg, Kubica and Heidfeld were in breach of a technical regulation relating to fuel temperature irregularities.

However, following a three hour investigation, they were cleared as the stewards declared there was "sufficient doubt", otherwise they could have been disqualified.

That could have resulted in Hamilton being promoted to fourth, and so winning the world title after agonisingly losing out to Ferrari star Kimi Raikkonen by a point.

Despite team-mate Fernando Alonso's claim that Hamilton "would be delighted" to win the title in such a fashion, the 22-year-old is adamant he would be far from happy.

"I don't believe it will happen," said Hamilton.

"After Kimi did such a fantastic job, winning the last two races, to have it taken away from you, it's a bit cruel and probably not good for the sport."
