Lewis Hamilton thinks that if he wins the title this year, it will mean the most to him.
The British driver overturned a sizeable deficit to team mate Nico Rosberg to go into the summer break with a 19 point lead over his rival.
Hamilton said his enjoyment increases year on year, and if he were to win the championship this season, it would be the most enjoyable of what would be four triumphs.
"It always feel new and every championship I’ve won I seem to enjoy it more and more and more and winning those championships has always been a different journey, so this feel one of the newer, completely new journey for me and I think if I get to where I want to be at the end of this journey then for sure it’s going to feel as good if not greater than ever before," the former McLaren driver told F1i.
It wouldn't be the first time Hamilton has come from behind to beat Rosberg, but compared to 2014, Hamilton thinks this year has been more of a challenge.
"Well we had 2014 where I was behind a little bit, I mean I’ve had ups and downs but I think this has definitely been harder because it hasn’t felt so much fault from me not being focus or me not training or taking the time it’s more other things, outside things that have affected that," he said. "As I said it’s been a really good experience and I honestly feel stronger today and able to handle whatever it is that is going to be thrown at me."
