German Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton Backs ‘Formidable’ Sebastian Vettel

By Daily Sports on July 26, 2019

Lewis Hamilton has backed Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel to bounce back from the difficult patch he has been going through for the past year.

The German four-time world champion has made several errors, most recently when he crashed into Red Bull’s Max Verstappen at the British Grand Prix.

Hamilton said: “People can be easily forgetful. I just remember him as a four-time champion and a formidable competitor. You need to keep the respect there and expect him to come back strong.”

Mercedes’ Hamilton beat Vettel to the world title in the past two seasons, after the Ferrari driver started each year strongly only for the team’s form to tail off later in the championship.

And from the French Grand Prix in June 2018, Vettel has made eight errors during grands prix, including crashing out when leading his home race in 2018.

This year’s German Grand Prix takes place on Sunday and Hamilton said: “I don’t think anything in particular has happened with him. The team have struggled. They have had some difficult races.”

Referring to 21-year-old Charles Leclerc, Vettel’s new team-mate this season, the Briton added: “He has a new youngster next to him who is doing a great job as well, so it doesn’t appear to be the easiest of times.”

Leclerc, who was promoted to Ferrari in 2019 in only his second season in F1, has had an inconsistent start to his career with the team, losing out on a victory in Bahrain when his engine went sour, but also making a series of mistakes in qualifying sessions. However, in the past three races he has outpaced Vettel, 32. (BBC)
