Lewis Hamilton has vowed to keep fighting after being "absolutely blown away" by his latest tyre failure.Hamilton was coasting to second behind pole-to-flag winner Mark Webber in yesterday's Spanish Grand Prix when, on the penultimate lap, he suffered a suspected left-front tyre rim failure that caused a puncture.
In qualifying for the 2007 European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring a puncture led to Hamilton hurtling into a tyre wall at 180mph, and then at that year's Turkish Grand Prix another puncture relegated him to fifth.
"It was a similar feeling to what happened at the Nurburgring," said Hamilton.
"This is my third or fourth tyre blow out in my career. More than most people have in their whole lifetime.
"There was no warning, the car felt great, so it was a surprise and a very disappointing end to the race.
"Up until that point it was pretty positive.
