Lewis Hamilton rues over Sebastian Vettel’s luck – Formula 1 news
McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton has said that he had not been as lucky as Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull Racing to have a dominant car during the year in which he won his world championship title.
Vettel has claimed the championship titles in the preceding two seasons and he entirely dominated during the last one in which he scored 11 grands prix victories. Although, he has been considered as one of the most talented drivers in the history of the
sport but still many believe that he has been at the top during the previous two years just because of his competitive cars as compared to his rivals.
Hamilton also thinks that the veteran German driver has performed exceptionally well as he has been behind the wheel of the most competent cars.
“When I won the World Championship, I wasn't as lucky as Sebastian has been to have a car that's as dominant the next year as well,” said the 27-year-old.
Furthermore, he said that he feels really upset that they have not been able to win another championship.
“I'm very sad that we've not been able to win another World Championship. I feel that we, as a team, are good enough to have done so and I feel that I'm good enough to have done so,” he said.
Even though, he said that his hopes of winning the championship title have faded after facing immense difficulties in the last several races. Nonetheless, he asserted that he is still looking forward to perform at his best in the remainder of the season
so as to help his team in securing a good position in the constructors’ championship.
“For whatever reason it hasn't happened and I'm not going to complain. For the rest of the year now it's just to try and help the team win the Constructors' Championship,” he added.
At present, the 2008 world champion is standing at 4th place in the drivers’ championship. Besides, he is ahead of Mark Webber of Red Bull and is behind his main rival, Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus.
Let’s see how he performs in the Indian GP this weekend.
