Sebastian Vettel has cast fresh doubt on Lewis Hamilton ’s F1 future, questioning the Brit's 'excitement' for the sport. Hamilton has grown accustomed to lightning starts at Mercedes in recent seasons, but he is now in the middle of his worst campaign since 2009.
As the motorsport legend continues to find solutions for his early season woes, Vettel, who has shared many battles with his rival on the track, can understand the seven-time champion feeling frustrated with his performances so far this year. “When you get to know the sport in the way I have done, and Lewis has done, winning and being at the top is what you strive for," said Vettel, who claimed four consecutive titles with Red Bull between 2010 and 2013.
“Does it excite you to finish eighth, or 12th or 13th? No it doesn't, when you know you have been first so many times - and in Lewis' case more than any other guy. George (Russell) comes in. He spent three years at Williams suffering to death at the rear of the field, scoring the odd point, and then suddenly he is eighth or 12th and life for him is amazing.
