Lewis Hamilton fears his bad starts could cost him the F1 title
Hamilton was slow off the line in Italy, Australia, Bahrain and Canada which means he arrives in Singapore this weekend a mere two points ahead of his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg.
"The championship could be lost through starts," he said.
"Considering I have had a lot of pole positions, I have lost the race from the starts.
"Would I prefer my clutch not to have inconsistencies? For sure, but that is not going to change any time soon."
