Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton will be eyeing nothing but a victory when he participates in the
Qatar Grand Prix on November 21.
The British superstar bounced back to winning ways in style when he won the recent Brazilian Grand Prix on November 14.
The victory saw Hamilton get his defence of the Formula One world championship back on track with three races left in the current term.

Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing-Honda and Valtteri Bottas of Mercedes finished second and third respectively in Brazil.
Verstappen is placed at the top of the Drivers' Championship standings as he looks to end Hamilton's dominance in Formula One.
Hamilton, who has won a joint-record seven Formula One world titles, is placed second on the standings - 14 points behind Verstappen.
The 36-year-old will leapfrog Verstappen into top if he wins this weekend's Qatar Grand Prix and edge closer to a record extending eighth Formula One world title.

“I don’t remember another weekend like this,” Hamilton said after his impressive win at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
“The last time I remember having something like this was in Formula 3 in Bahrain, the first race we had in Bahrain, and McLaren cancelled or ripped up my contract and I remember I was racing for my life that weekend.
“Did I think we could come from last? I don’t know what was possible but I just gave it everything and this has definitely been probably one of the best weekends, if not the best weekend I have experienced in probably my whole career."
Mercedes are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they are followed by Red Bull Racing-Honda and Ferrari respectively.
