London: Lewis Hamilton wished he was on holiday once he had won a third Formula One title and the champion has also revealed he stayed up late working on music projects during race weekends.
"You still have to commit and work super-hard but, for sure you`re kind of like `My job`s done, I wish the season was over, wish I could go on holiday`," the Briton said of his feelings after winning the title in Texas with three races to spare.
"But you still arrive at the next races, there`s a lot of people in this team that continue to work so you`ve got to match them. It wasn`t as successful as the rest of the year but still second in those races was not too bad."
Hamilton`s team mate Nico Rosberg won the last three races of the year after racking up six pole positions in a row.
Asked about his musical interests and what he was working on in recording studios, Hamilton described it as hip-hop/R&B and said it was coming along.
"I`ve worked on it a lot this year, I have a lot of music stuff that`s actually ready...someone`s going to hear something soon," he said.
"I have a team of people, my music people travel around with me and so on the race weekends we finish at the track like six or seven PM, I go straight to the hotel and I`ll be in my room writing and recording.
"We`ll be recording until one AM in the morning, then I get up and I`ll be driving the next day. It`s crazy," added Hamilton, who said he rarely slept more than five or six hours.
Hamilton also responded to Mercedes motorsport head Toto Wolff who said that driver discord was a major weakness in the team and that they wanted `nice guys`.
The Austrian had also suggested driver changes could be made if bad blood continued.
"It`s always blown so much out of proportion," said Hamilton. "You know we`ve had like 16 one-twos (actually, 12 this season), so our relationship isn`t really causing any problems. It`s not like he`s been distracted and not finished high up or vice-versa.
"I think we`ve both done a great job and not caused any problems. The energy within the team is as high as it`s ever going to be and that`s because we do what we do and how we do it," he said.
"We`re never going to be best friends but we somehow make it work."
