Anthony Hamilton has urged son Lewis to enjoy the pressure that comes with the Formula One world title fight.

Hamilton junior's victory in the Singapore Grand Prix has propelled him back into the lead of the championship by just three points ahead of Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg.

Hamilton senior and Lewis' stepmother Linda were on hand to watch the 29-year-old take the chequered flag.

It is the third time this year the couple have attended a race, and the third time Hamilton has gone on to clinch victory.

With five races left, the prospect of a second world championship is now clearly in sight.

Father Anthony feels Lewis has taken to the track this season with a very different mindset to past years, and that is to have fun.

He said: "Lewis had a plan this year and he's managing himself, that plan, what he wants, really, really well.

"On occasions I've reminded him and said, 'we're in F1, an amazing sport to be in, so enjoy every minute of every day'.

"He'll have bad days, but it actually doesn't matter because we are at the top of the greatest sport in the world.

"If there's pressure, that's the bonus that comes with winning, but really this is a life you have to enjoy because you are only here for a short period of time.

"It's great to win, but the key is enjoying it and he is."

Despite the victories - seven from the 14 races to date this season - Anthony concedes the stress Lewis puts him under still has not changed, even after all these years of watching him on track.

"It's the desire for your kid to be safe and to get what he wants," he said.

"It's the same feeling I've always had from when Lewis used to be at the back of the grid when he first started go-karting, watching that yellow helmet and thinking 'come through, come through, come on'.

"When it happens it's a great feeling, but the stress level is exactly the same whether it's Formula One or karts. It's just unreal."
