HOCKENHEIM, Germany, July 21, 2008 (AFP) - Briton Lewis Hamilton on Monday warned against anyone ´getting carried away´ with his recent resurgence of form after successive wins at the British and German Grands Prix.

The 23-year-old Englishman, who produced a superb aggressive drive to seize victory in Sunday´s German race, said he felt on top form again after a spell of indifferent results.

But he added he knew well, after last year´s final race disappointment, that there remains a long way to go in the scrap for glory in the drivers´ world championship.

Hamilton is now four points clear in the title race and will head towards the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest and the European race on a street circuit in Valencia, Spain, with high confidence.

"We are really on top of our game," said Hamilton, who had to overcome a strategy mistake by his McLaren Mercedes-Benz team and then pass three rivals in thrilling fashion to win.

"But we have not to get too far ahead of ourselves. We´ve got a long way to go and we´ve got to make sure that we can continue with this performance."

Victory on Sunday at the Hockenheimring was his fourth this year and the eighth of his career in only his 27th Formula One race. He also started from pole for the ninth time, a statistic that confirms a remarkable set for a driver of high potential.

Hamilton was locked in a three-way tie at the top of the drivers´ standings with Ferrari duo Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen before the German Grand Prix, but he is now four points clear.

Now, with eight races remaining, he insists the championship remains wide open.

"I think it´s too early to say anything about the championship. Yes, we´re looking strong, but as you know in a Formula One season things change, the teams always make steps here and there.

"As you saw last year, we were chopping and changing who was the quickest and in the next few races I don´t know what to expect. I know that we have got a lot of work to do for the rest of the season, but if we continue with this momentum we have got then we are looking very good," he said.

"The next race in Hungary is a very good one for us, so fingers crossed."
