Lewis Hamilton says he expects Sebastian Vettel to return battling subsequent to smashing out of the last race in Singapore toward the begin. Hamilton moved 28 guides clear with six races toward go and 150 focuses accessible subsequent to winning in Singapore.
“Greats generally bounce back so I have to anticipate he will bounce back even stronger,” the British driver said.
“I don’t remember the last time I have seen him falter under pressure. I don’t know whether he feels pressure.”
He added: “It doesn’t matter when, the question is if. And I am just trying to make sure it is done by the time I cross the line at the end of the season – that is all that matters.
“I have not really reflected that much on the last race. I went into it thinking I would lose a lot of points to Sebastian, so to come out the other way around it was a real surprise.
“But of course it is a turning point when you go from being behind all season long and now two races being in the lead.
“There are lots of turning points within the year and I am trying to make sure that was the last one.” Hamilton portrayed Vettel’s conduct toward the begin in Singapore as “a mix-up” – the German skewered over the track to shield his position after a normal begin from post position however wound up associated with a three-path crash with partner Kimi Raikkonen and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.
Be that as it may, Vettel declined to be drawn into a dialog of the episode.
“I don’t think there is much assessment necessary,” the German said. “All three of us weren’t happy but you move on.
“It would have been more difficult if I had lost the car somewhere in the race. We did our start, everyone was trying to do his start and it ended up pretty bad for all three of us and that was it. Not much you can do. It is part of racing.
“It is not the first time I am in a situation like this. Probably won’t be the last. Not much you can do therefore not much point to look at it again and again, your time is better spent looking forward.”
