MONZA, Italy -- Lewis Hamilton says he is carrying his must-win mindset from Belgium to the Italian Grand Prix this weekend.
With Mercedes expected to have an edge in Belgium and Italy, Hamilton came out of the summer break determined to take all 50 points on offer in a bid to strengthen his championship challenge. Victory in Belgium moved him to within seven points of Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel.
When asked if he still viewed Italy in the same light, he replied: "Yes absolutely. I mean that's generally been every weekend anyways but I definitely have carried over that same kind of driving to this weekend.
