Lewis admits watching video of Shanghai 2007

Lewis Hamilton has admitted watching his Chinese GP gaffe (see above - it comes with excited Spanish commentary, for bonus schadenfreude points) on the internet.

Hamilton claims he is not haunted by the nightmare incident, which shattered his world-title hopes last season, but he has watched it on YouTube, more than once:

“Sometimes I’ve been on YouTube and seen a video clip or a picture of me in the gravel last year and thought, ‘Damn! That shouldn’t have happened’.

“But it was a learning mistake and I can still move forwards from it because things like that happen for a reason and it taught me a lot. Last year the last couple of races taught me a lot about my personality and my life, and I’m stronger for it.”
