Lewis Hamilton: compassion for Sebastian Vettel

The last Formula 1 fan should have noticed that the boom at Ferrari hangs crooked on Sebastian Vettel’s side of the box. The tone of the four-time world champion has become sharper, the helplessness about the current low form strains the patience of the ambitious Heppenheimer, who, despite the upcoming farewell, leaves no stone unturned to find his way back to his old strength.

That leaves a good impression not only on many fans and potential new bread makers. The opponents of the German always show respect for the Scuderia’s farewell candidate. For example, Mercedes star and endurance winner Lewis Hamilton said in Spain: “I’ve looked back a few races and seen the difficulties Seb had. I can only empathize with him and try to understand his situation. “

«It can never feel good to be told by your team that you are no longer wanted. But you still have to go on. You just want to be able to put all your heart into it, “says the six-time champion and world championship leader, who also praised:” Seb continues and helps the team. That shows what a great character he has and how committed he is still. I hope that something positive will happen to him in the future. “

Daniel Ricciardo, who knows Vettel from their Red Bull Racing days together, can confirm this. He’s not the type to run away from a problem, ”said the Australian of Vettel. “Maybe this is the wrong word, but Vettel has a lot of passion for this sport. He loves him and I think he’s not the type to say, ‘What the heck!’ “

“Rather, he will analyze everything and find a way to improve. He seeks the answer to the question because it is important to him – whether it is because of his passion for the sport or because of his pride, ”the Renault driver today is convinced.
