Lewis Hamilton is refusing to change his aggressive driving style as he focuses on Formula One world title glory this season.
Hamilton has paid the price for occasionally pushing too hard, as witnessed in Bahrain and France when he failed to score a point.
In contrast, the racer in Hamilton has also produced superb drives to claim victories in Monaco, Britain and most recently Germany in his McLaren.
The back-to-back wins at Silverstone and Hockenheim, where he has been the class act, see Hamilton head into Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix with a four-point lead ahead of Ferrari's Felipe Massa.
Reigning world champion Kimi Raikkonen is now seven adrift, while the challenge from BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica appears to be fading as the Pole is 10 points off the pace.
With eight races remaining, Hamilton sees no reason why he should alter his approach to a grand prix simply to consolidate his lead.
"It's easy to say you'll treat each race with a certain amount of respect," said Hamilton.
"But the reality is I haven't changed my style. It seems to work for me and I enjoy pushing hard to achieve a good result."
"That's when I feel I am operating at my maximum. It's potentially dangerous to start thinking about changing your approach at this point in the season."
"I'll be honest: my approach has served me fairly well so far and I'd need to give it some serious thought before attempting to change it."
"Let's just say, it will be business as usual in Hungary this weekend."
It would be fair to assume Hamilton is on a high in the wake of his storming performances in the last two grands prix.
But he appreciates he has to remain grounded, otherwise it would be all too easy to get carried with the focus again on him.
"I'm wary about making any strong predictions," added Hamilton.
"Yes, we were strong in the last two races, but we encountered difficulties in the two before that, so it's impossible to call it this weekend."
"All I can say is our car feels fantastic at the moment and I'm really enjoying driving it."
"It feels like you can keep fine-tuning it to extract more performance from it, which is a fantastic feeling for any racing driver."
Unlike at Silverstone and Hockenheim, the Hungaroring represents one of the worst tracks on the calendar for overtaking, lending itself to an often processional race.
Hamilton won from pole last season, albeit being promoted to the top of the grid following a qualifying bust-up with then team-mate Fernando Alonso.
If Hamilton is to become the first Briton to win three races in a row since Damon Hill at the start of the 1996 season then pole is a must again.
"Hungary is very different from Germany," assessed Hamilton.
"Hockenheim is a track that allows you to slipstream and pass other drivers fairly easily. The Hungaroring is the opposite of that."
"Qualifying will be crucial, and strategy will also be important in determining the optimum fuel weight for the opening stint."
"It will be hot and tiring too, so keeping focus and concentration will be vital."
"But I don't go into this weekend surfing any particular wave of confidence."
"It's such a different type of circuit that it's difficult for anybody to feel certain about their chances."
