But he has secured second spot on the starting grid.

And Hamilton will be confident that he can put this torrid run to an end in Brazil on the very same track where he came back from 10th to grab first place.

Furthermore, the seven-time champion has more of an incentive to win after officially receiving a Brazilian citizenship ahead of the weekend.

Now he has decided to celebrate that by wearing a special helmet this weekend to honour his “second homeland”.
