Former F1 world champion Damon Hill has urged Lewis Hamilton to remain focused if he is to win next weekend's British Grand Prix, and potentially go on to become world champion.
Mistakes, penalties and a row with the media have engulfed the 23-year-old of late, leaving him ten points adrift of Ferrari's Felipe Massa in the four-way fight for the title.
"It would be an enormous boost for him to win the British Grand Prix," said Hill.
"There would be such a feel-good factor about a British driver winning his home race, and especially for Lewis who is trying to fight for the world championship.
"There has been a little bit of a wobble of late from Lewis, but I think it's to be expected "As for any advice, I would just say to him, focus on what you can control, and that is how you drive and how you do your job."
