Lewis Hamilton heads into this weekend's Austrian Grand Prix using reigning MotoGP champion Marc Marquez as his inspiration.
Hamilton has now fallen 22 points adrift of Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg in the race for this season's Formula One world championship following his results in the last two races.
Hamilton won four consecutive grands prix to narrowly edge ahead of Rosberg, but after finishing second behind the German in Monaco and suffering a retirement last time out in Canada, the Briton is again playing catch up.
To that end, knowing he needs another dominant run, Hamilton feels Marquez's achievements this season serve as encouragement as he has won all seven races of a dominant campaign.
Although Rosberg has claimed he now has the psychological edge over Hamilton, the 29-year-old Englishman initially cryptically remarked: "It's a positive he feels that way. It's a positive."
Hamilton then added: "For me, I just see this race as a clean slate, to start again, to attack.
"For example I've recently watched MotoGP, with Marc Marquez winning seven races in a row.
"That's inspired me, left me thinking 'Jeez, I'd like to do that'. That's my goal now."
Now the hunter again, rather than being the hunted, Hamilton feels he is in an awkward position, suggesting it to be "more difficult".
Hamilton added: "You can be affected by a pit stop, by another car, a puncture, and the gap slips by a certain amount, so it is probably harder chasing."
The Austrian Grand Prix stewards, led by nine-times Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen this weekend, are to review 'new elements' of Sergio Perez's crash with Felipe Massa from the race in Canada 12 days ago.
Williams' Massa ran into the back of Perez in his Force India after it appeared the Mexican had altered his line approaching turn one of the final lap at Montreal's Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
What resulted was a frightening accident as Perez slammed into a wall to his right, whilst Massa ploughed nose first into a tyre barrier, almost collecting third-placed Sebastian Vettel along the way.
Both men blamed one another for the accident, with the stewards in Canada opting to hand Perez a five-place grid penalty for this event.
A war of words has since unfolded between Perez and Massa, even via the use of social media, yet Force India claim they have telemetry that could result in Perez's penalty being rescinded and Massa punished.
The stewards at the Red Bull Ring are to listen to Force India's argument at 9am local time (8am UK), and if they feel there is a case to answer then they will hold a further hearing at 4pm with Massa.
"I will not change my opinion," said Massa.
"I will not trust him any more, definitely not. If I am behind him again I will think three times where I need to go because I will not know what he is going to do."
Perez, however, replied: "We will get the opportunity with the FIA to review the accident again as we believe we have enough evidence to prove I did nothing wrong."
