Formula One: Lewis Hamilton's trip into the gravel in China 12 days ago has not knocked his confidence ahead of the title decider in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Sunday's event could not be more critical, with Hamilton leading team-mate Fernando Alonso by four points, while Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen cannot be discounted as he is another three points adrift.
After what happened in the Chinese Grand Prix when the 22-year-old slid into a gravel trap with the title in his grasp, he could be forgiven for feeling a little apprehensive.
Not a bit of it, though, as Hamilton said: "What happened in China has definitely not made me nervous - in the end it took the pressure off my shouders.
"I thought it would knock my confidence and put me on the back foot.
"But I went away and looked back on the weekend, and now I feel even stronger, totally relaxed and confident in the team and our ability to challenge for the title.
"And I'm just going to do the same job as always, but keep the car on the track this time!"
Hamilton concedes his first visit to the city of hero Ayrton Senna has so far been "an unusual experience."
Senna was Hamilton's inspiration during his early years in karting as he grew up idolising the three-time world champion.
His death at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix had a profound effect on a young Hamilton, who has admitted to crying his eyes out at the time.
So it is with added poignancy and significance Hamilton now finds himself in Sao Paulo ahead of Sunday's three-way showdown for the Formula One title.
"All the years I've been watching Formula One, literally from the beginning of my karting career, I've had books and videos on Senna," said Hamilton. "To watch them and see him in his home country, see how people view him over here, and then to finally come to this country, his home turf and where his resting place is, it's quite touching.
"Knowing my hotel is only a couple of miles from where he is - and that is the closest I've ever been to him - it's quite an unusual experience for me."
Hamilton, though, is not alone in his hero-worship of Senna as Alonso also grew up looking on with awe at what the brilliant Brazilian could do behind the wheel of a car.
"When I was in go-karts I had pictures of him in my room," said Alonso. "I always followed his races on the tv when I could. He was my favourite driver at the time, and when I came into Formula One he was my prototype.
"So it's good to come here because there is a lot of Formula One passion here in Brazil, in the people, in the hotels and on the street.
"They all love Formula One, so when you come here you realise it's a very important place and a very important race."
