British Formula One racer Lewis Hamilton has said that he feels like a kid at Christmas as has the best competitive package in terms of car and the team to take his second F1 World Championship since 2008 in the title showdown at Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

According to Hamilton, his Mercedes is the best car he has ever driven on the track and feels like a kid at Christmas, who has with him the best competitive package. He further said that so far he has been doing the right steps and would continue to do the same thing on Sunday, the BBC reported.

Hamilton edged past title rival and teammate Nico Rosberg in the practice match for the final showdown by cloaking 0.133 seconds in the first session and 0.083secs in the second after the two men registered fastest laps throughout.

Currently, he is leading by 17 points ahead of Rosberg and will clinch the title even if he finishes second on the podium.
