Winning at Silverstone would be nice but the Brit is playing the long game
Lewis Hamilton has struck back at critics who say his dip in form is down to a lack of concentration and expressed his determination to win the world championship.
Hamilton has slipped to fourth place in the driver's championship after failling to make the podium at the Canadian and French grand prixs and has not won a race since his triumph in Monaco six weeks ago.
Sunday's race at Silverstone could well prove pivotal in his quest for a second season championship victory.
He said: "It would be nice to win at Silverstone but I want to win the World Championship. I have not lacked concentration. In the last race I was unfortunate. What can you do about two penalties? In the race before that (The Canadian GP) I was leading by eight seconds (when things went wrong). What happened was not due to a lack of concentration."
Hamilton is second favourite to win the British grand prix, trading at [3.75] behind Kimi Raikkonen [2.6].
Hamilton is currently available to back at [ 5.1] in the 2008 Driver's Championship market trailing
Raikkonen [2.14].
