Formula One: ‘Hamilton’s better than Vettel’
BERLIN:
Lewis Hamilton is a better Formula One driver than reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel, according to Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso. “Hamilton is very fast, aggressive and totally focused, he is only interested in victory,” said Alonso. “Vettel has not reached that level yet. I know he’s the double world champion but he’s still behind the level Hamilton has set.” Germany’s Vettel secured his second consecutive world drivers title when he dominated the 2011 season, finishing with 392 points while Britain’s 2008 champion Hamilton finished fifth, 165 points behind the German. Spain’s Alonso was fourth last season and won the last of his two world titles in 2006.
