Lewis Hamilton: Fashion career not a distraction from F1

MARINA BAY, Singapore -- Despite spending the past week promoting his new Tommy Hilfiger fashion range, Lewis Hamilton insists his title battle with Sebastian Vettel has always been at the front of his mind.

The Mercedes driver has a deal with the American fashion brand and over the past two weeks has been promoting his new range of clothing, TommyXLewis. Hamilton launched the collection in Shanghai last week before travelling to New York this week for a launch party.

Hamilton is no stranger to travelling long distances between races, but insists F1 is always his priority.

"Trying to fit in the training obviously for the last week has not been easy, but that is not how every single week goes for me," he said.
