But Hamilton, 31, says he will not give up without a fight.

He said: “It's an unusual scenario to be in - fighting for something and not knowing for sure that what you do will guarantee you're able to make it.

“One outcome would be painful and the other would be a great achievement. Regardless, I'm going to keep pushing.

“Since the beginning of my Formula One career I've seen that everything can change even at the very last moment, so you have to fight to the bitter end.

“I've never won in Brazil, so I go into this weekend focused on changing that.”
