Following Sebastian Vettel’s latest victory at the Singapore Grand Prix, Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton has established his unwillingness to win races in the same dominant fashion as the German, according to Sky Sports.
Red Bull’s Vettel took his 33rd career win in Singapore, giving him sole possession of taking fourth place in Formula One’s all-time victory list.
Even though Hamilton believes Vettel should not be ‘booed’ for his achievements, he added that he would not be satisfied triumphing with such ease regularly.
“I saw a glimpse of him on the podium and I was happy for him,” said Hamilton.
“I tried to imagine what it would be like if I was winning races the way he is winning races. Me, I don’t want to be able to be that far ahead, I want to be able to fight with him or whoever. But this is the way it is, and it’s definitely not a positive thing to hear that he has been booed.”
