Austin (USA): Lewis Hamilton insists he will hold nothing back as he bids to overhaul Nico Rosberg in the championship race in what would surely rank as one of the finest achievements of his career. Hamilton, who is now without a victory since July, has been cast 33 points adrift of his Mercedes teammate with only four races remaining.

At the last race in Japan, Rosberg claimed his fourth win from five grands prix, while Hamilton could manage only third, in a weekend which was overshadowed by his conduct out of the cockpit. The Briton courted criticism after he fooled around on his mobile phone during a pre-race press conference. He then cancelled his media sessions with the written press.
Lewis back in the spotlight
But Hamilton will be back in the spotlight on Thursday after being summoned by Formula One's governing body to appear in the official press conference for the United States Grand Prix. Hamilton returned to England to celebrate Mercedes' third consecutive constructors' championship at the team's headquarters before he was ruled out of a tyre test in Barcelona last week with a sore foot.
But the 31-year-old Englishman will head to Austin for this week's United States Grand Prix—the scene of his third championship triumph last year—still hopeful that he can prevent Rosberg from winning the title. "We've got four races left to make the most of it and that's exactly what I plan to do. It's just about hitting every race weekend as hard as I can, going all out for every win and seeing what happens from there. I'll be holding nothing back out there. I've got some great memories from Austin, with three wins from four races and, of course, the title win last year. That was one of the highlights of my career, no doubt," said Hamilton.
World title way out of reach
"It's almost like the American fans have adopted me as their own, so I'll try to channel all of that positive energy into this weekend," he added. Hamilton's quest to become the first British driver to win four titles is out of his control. Indeed Rosberg, 31, can now afford to finish second on three occasions and third at one of the remaining four grands prix and still seal his maiden championship.
