Lewis Hamilton insists "anything is possible" in what have been labelled his "three FA Cup finals" in the closing month of F1's title battle.
The Mercedes driver has vowed not to throw in the towel even though Rosberg could secure the title this weekend in Mexico.
Hamilton's win in last Sunday's US GP means he heads to Mexico with a reduced title deficit to Nico Rosberg of 26 points, but the gap remains sufficient for his Mercedes team-mate to be able to finish second in every race and become champion. Rosberg will also be crowned champion if he wins on Sunday and Hamilton fails to finish in the points.
But, buoyed by his first victory in three months in Austin, Hamilton insists he has retained a "positive mentality" amid the ups and downs of recent months.
Recounting his fluctuating fortunes since the summer break, Hamilton said: "Spa went well [from the back of the grid]. I had the best pace in the weekend of Monza and then I didn't get the start, which kind of decided that. Singapore obviously wasn't great, then Malaysia was great and then it wasn't great [when his engine blew].
"So I've still continued to keep a positive frame of mind - I've got to. There are still points available, anything is possible. The moment you give up that's the moment you're doomed. I've never given up in my life and I don't plan on doing so.
