SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Lewis Hamilton says he is not considering any tricks or tactics to try to swing the championship battle back in his favour, and expects title rival Nico Rosberg to take the same approach.Rosbergs 19-point advantage in the championship standings means Hamilton has to hope his teammate slips up at one of the last two rounds by finishing fourth or lower. Hamilton starts Sundays Brazilian Grand Prix from pole position, but has ruled out trying to back Rosberg into rival drivers to try to make life more difficult for his teammate.I dont believe there is anything I can do, honestly, he said. Im sure you could maybe try and do something and try and be smart and then just screw yourself over, so its not something that Im going to do anyway.I want to win because Ive been the best, not through tactics that I did or anything like that. Obviously Im in this awkward position due to a lot of issues weve had this year and theres nothing I can do about that.Im quite happy with my qualifying, Ive had 11 poles and I didnt even get to qualify in three of them.So Im really happy with how the end of the season is going so far and I just want to keep pushing. As long as I do my job in these next two races thats all I can ask for. All of the other stuff thats happened around it ... Ill move forwards.Asked if he expected any tricks from Rosberg -- who would bennefit from both cars failing to finish the race -- Hamilton added: I dont go into the race expecting anything less than a fair fight.ddddddddddddI mean, of course you can look at history and you can look at what some drivers have done in the past but I like to think higher of him and that wouldnt be something he would do. But I just need to make sure Im ahead.Hamilton says his current position is more comfortable than previous title battles in 2007, 2008 and 2014, when he went into the final race defending a points lead.Its definitely scenario than Ive experienced in the past. Im much, much more comfortable than I was in the last 10 years, and I guess experience has a lot to do with that. Im loving being out there and Im going to enjoy the race tomorrow.Im good in all the conditions that will come, and I feel like were the best prepared, Ive the best team around me. I dont have the feeling the tyre pressures are too high or too low, I cant get the tyres into the window, all these different factors that come into it.Ive a team of people that can help me maximise everything, so it is a much different scenario than all the other years in respect of how Im approaching it, how I am mentally. Its a much more comfortable place to be in. ' ' '
