MEXICO CITY -- Lewis Hamilton says he is determined to win this year's title "the right way" and has ruled out attempting to secure the championship by colliding with his rival Max Verstappen.
Hamilton is 12 points behind Verstappen with five races remaining, meaning the championship could still go down to the final race in Abu Dhabi.
Earlier this week, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff said he could imagine a situation where the title is decided by one of the two drivers forcing a collision in Abu Dhabi, but Hamilton ruled out trying to win the championship in that manner.
