World champion believes team will play fair in Brazil.

"For the last two years, I was in front, now I'm behind - that's the main difference," he reflected, "Sometimes you just need to be conservative, just to do your job and finish in a certain place [but], this year, I need much more than that. I need to win the race, to be at the front and [have] another combination of results from the other contenders. So it's more difficult.

"Now it's more a championship thought when you approach the weekend. For sure, five or six races ago, you just concentrated on doing your job, take the weekend like the final race of the championship. Now it's more a championship thought so, when you are in the car, you don't care too much about the race result, you just concentrate on how many points you will get. I think, especially in this last race, it's about all the combinations we know that we need to be champion. You try to do your maximum, you try to do your best. But it's not only up to you."
