The Mercedes driver could afford to smile and shrug off the booing from the Ferrari fans who gathered after the race in Monza for the podium celebrations. "Lewis Hamilton embraces 'villain' tag after taking lead in F1 title race," the Guardian said in online headline said. "It is amazing to have the first back-to-back wins in a long, long time and claim the lead in the championship," Hamilton said. "It will continue to be really close between us, so it will be 'beast mode' all the way to the last chequered flag." Mercedes did win last year on the Marina Bay Street Circuit through Nico Rosberg, and Hamilton was a winner in 2014.
