Lewis Hamilton vows to go for break at the British Grand Prix despite ban threat from Mercedes

LEWIS HAMILTON will go full throttle at the British Grand Prix  tomorrow — despite a ban threat    from  Mercedes.

The world champ and his  rival Nico Rosberg have been issued with a final warning by team chiefs after they clashed in Spain, Canada and  Austria.

Three-time world champ Hamilton insists he will race the same way despite a yellow-card style caution from Mercedes

Merc boss Toto Wolff  has drawn up new terms for their “rules of engagement” — and even said the team-mates  are on a “yellow card”.

But  Hamilton is determined that he   will not change his swashbuckling style as he bids to win a fourth British Grand Prix.

The Brit, 31, said: “I will still be giving it everything I’ve got —  that’s how I race.

“You can look at my overtaking manoeuvres since I was eight years old.

“I would probably guess that 99 per cent have been decent and clean — which in 23 years is pretty decent.

“If I did not drive like that I wouldn’t be here. As Ayrton Senna said, ‘If you are not going for a gap, you are no longer a racing driver’. I live by that.

“You can sort of compare Ayrton to Muhammad Ali in that he stood for what was right.”

Hamilton was almost half a second quicker than closest rival Daniel Ricciardo in practice.

And Rosberg was BOOED by home fans yesterday after crashing into   Hamilton  in Austria last weekend — even though the Brit still went on to win the race and cut the German’s title lead to 11 points.

Hamilton said: “It’s similar for football fans in their own stadium, the majority  are there for them.

“You come to Silverstone and that’s when the energy is in abundance.
