Lewis Hamilton says a fourth title seemed impossible after his crash with Nico Rosberg at the Spanish GP - and has vowed to keep the fallout from the incident a secret. Hamilton was 43 points behind his Mercedes team-mate when the duo collided on the first lap in Barcelona and in a UBS Q&A session, which was streamed live on Facebook, the world champion has opened up on the mental affects it had on him.He has now recovered to within one point of Rosberg at the halfway stage of the season after winning back-to-back grands prix, and admits he has changed immensely through his nine years in Formula 1. When I was younger, if I had a bad race I was so hard on myself, he said. It was really negative. I remember some races I wouldnt leave my hotel room for three or four days, wouldnt speak to anyone, not being on my phone, I was just trying to get myself out of this dark place that Id be in. Somehow Id pop out of it and turn it into positive. I think thats what youve got to try and do. Youve got to look at the situation, even if its really negative, youve got to try and find the positives from it and leave the negatives behind. Try and learn from it. Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg were involved in a dramatic crash on the first lap of the Spanish Grand Prix which has seen both men retire from the race I look at Barcelona for example this year. It was a massive low for me. Theres things you wont know until I retire that I tell you that I experienced. I got up the next day and I went for a run, thats my process, through my run Im thinking about lots of different things.Its crazy to think that the 43-point deficit I had at the time, which seemed impossible - Im only human so those days I feel like it seemed impossible - youve just got to keep going, as painful as it can be, as hard as it can be.Is Hamilton playing mind games?You might get over it quickly, it might take longer but you just have to keep going. Its not how you fall, its how you get up from those experiences that you can become stronger. I feel Im stronger right now than I was at the beginning. I dont do everything perfect, I make mistakes. Theres days when I thought, the worlds coming to an end, Im never going to win this championship blah blah blah, I have those same things we all have. Somehow I try to find the positives in it. Look where I am now, Im one point behind in the championship. Im even surprised. Im like, if I had given up at one point… it just shows you to never ever ever give up no matter what. Hamilton is third on the list of total wins, and total poles in Formula 1, while he can become the first Brit to claim more than three championships this year.But the 31-year-old says he is not motivated by any records and, despite the possibility of Ferrari making a move, he expects to see out another five years in the sport with Mercedes, with his current deal lasting until 2018.There isnt a final goal, he said. People have been asking me, do you want to go for Michael [Schumacher]s record?, for example. Honestly, I have zero desire in my heart to go for that. But if I happened to be fortunate enough get anywhere near there that would be amazing.I try and think to myself whats your five year plan? and try to set out to do it. Ive obviously signed for another three years with Mercedes - after that I see myself staying for another three or four years. While Im 37 Ill still be relatively young so I want to be challenged by something else. Marc Priestly thinks Lewis Hamiltons comments in the media may be affecting Nico Rosbergs performance on the track I want to be as great as I can be but I dont believe being as great as I can be is defined by someone elses record. Even if Im only here for another two years Im going to give it everything Ive got. Even if I was to stop now Id think Ive learned a lot, Ive had an amazing journey.Theres not one moment or one thing I would change because thats what got me where I am today regardless of whether you hit someones records.Watch the Hungarian GP live on Sky Sports F1.

The 20-year-old Barkley, whose impressive form this season could earn him a place in Englands World Cup squad, was hurt in Evertons 4-0 win over Queens Park Rangers in the FA Cup on Jan.MEMPHIS - Rookie Dwight Buycks sat in the corner of the visitors locker room, headphones on one ear. D.J. Augustin occupied the locker to his right, Julyan Stone directly to his left as the three point guards shared a laugh 60 minutes prior to tip-off in Memphis. Off the court theyre good friends. On it theyve been competing for the same job since the start of training camp. Its been the Raptors most problematic position early in the season but, at least for now, they have filled the vacancy behind starter Kyle Lowry at the point. Buycks, seemingly an unlikely choice, has emerged from that trio of under-performing guards to earn a spot in Dwane Caseys rotation. Now, its his job to lose. "Hes gained some ground," Casey told TSN.ca before his teams surprising victory over the Grizzlies Wednesday. "I thought he played with a lot of confidence against Houston the other night, he played with a lot of confidence against Utah. Hes kind of stepped forward in that situation and [emerged]." For the third straight game, Buycks was the first Raptors point guard off the bench in Memphis. He missed his only field goal attempt but converted all four of his free throws in just under 12 minutes of action. Augustin checked in with a minute left and the victory all but sealed while Stone was a healthy scratch for Caseys club. "Theres definitely [an] opportunity, for sure," Buycks recognized. "[Casey has] been saying that for a while now. Weve been competing and making it tough for him." "Youve just got to stay ready and make the most of it. Most of all just go out there and have fun but at the same time its a job, its a business so youve got to take it serious." He hasnt been spectacular - far from it, averaging just 3.4 points and 0.4 assists on 36 per cent shooting in five games - but hes been solid, precisely what Casey has been looking for from the leader of his second unit. When hes come into the game hes been aggressive and has made good decisions more often than not. Moost importantly there hasnt been a noticeable drop off when Lowry goes to the bench, an ongoing concern when the incumbent Augustin would check in.dddddddddddd Five games into his NBA career, Buycks has earned Caseys trust. An undrafted rookie, Buycks was once considered the dark horse of this trio. Stone - who was kept on after a strong showing in camp - endeared himself to Casey with his versatility and defensive wherewithal while Augustin was given first crack at the job on account of his experience as a starter in the league. Their skill sets differ and the sample size with Buycks is small, which suggests the rookie may be tied to short leash. As long as Caseys options at the position remain modest, at best, the competition will be ongoing even if Buycks continues to front the platoon. "Its tough but at the end of the day were teammates," said the 24-year-old. "Were all going to give it our all; were pros, so youve definitely got to bring it. Thats what makes it tough but thats what makes us love our job more." Buycks is an unconventional NBA rookie, having spent last season playing professionally in France where he was awarded league MVP. Still, hes a first-year player and his teammates wont let him forget it. "Its a rookie duty, a little gift from [Lowry]," Buycks said of the small bumblebee backpack thats been accompanying him on road trips this season. "Its not too bad. At the end of the day its all fun and games." "It wasnt a problem for me. I was laughing and smiling right with them when I found out I had it. So [Im] just going along with the flow." It could be worse, he pointed out. The teams three sophomores - Jonas Valanciunas, Terrence Ross and Quincy Acy - all had to carry around pink bags along with a doll, Dora the Explorer or Bart Simpson. The bumblebee is slightly less conspicuous. The advice he received from those three; "Just dont forget youre book bag. Bring it everywhere you go, dont forget it and youll be alright." ' ' '
