Lewis Hamilton is refusing to get too carried away after his back-to-back wins at Silverstone and Hockenheim.
Just a few weeks ago Hamilton was under pressure after failing to score points in Canada and France, but he bounced back in style at his home race in Britain and Germany this weekend.
The 23-year-old now has a four-point lead in the World Title and looks to be favourite to win his maiden Championship following last year's near miss.
However, the McLaren driver knows the team can't rest on their laurels.
"It's too early to say that I'm now the man to beat," assessed Hamilton.
"We're looking strong, looking good, and we're in a good position, but as you know in a Formula One season things change, teams always make steps here and there.
"As you saw last year we were swapping and changing, so in the next few races I don't know what to expect.
"All I know is we will have a competitive car, and if we can keep challenging for wins, then great.
"I'm not going to say the other guys need to pull their finger out or something like that.
"All I know is we just need to keep on pushing, as simple as that, as I'm sure everyone else will.
"So far the team have done a great job, and we are really on top of our game right now.
"But we cannot get too far ahead of ourselves. We have got a lot of work to do for the rest of the season, although if we can continue with this momentum we're looking very good.
"Now it's on to the next race, with Hungary a very good one for us, so fingers crossed."
