Lewis Hamilton shares concerns about the title fight

Recently, Toto Wolff compared the rivalry between Hamilton and Verstappen to the rivalry between Prost and Senna. But when he remembers the 1989 Japanese Grand Prix, Hamilton is wary of collisions that could decide the championship.

Hamilton announced that he really wanted to win the title. “I’m here to win the right way, and only through skill, determination and hard work.”

But that also meant that the Briton did not wrongly want to lose the title.

“If you lose it, you lose it the right way: with dignity and the knowledge that you are giving everything, you have done everything right and worked as hard as you could.”

While Hamilton admitted the pressure on Verstappen, the Dutchman is as cool as ever. He too shared his opinion on the parallels with Prost-Senna.

“I don’t really think of previous historical battles between two riders, what they did – that’s the past. I just focus on what I have to do on the track and that is to do my best and that is how you will win the championship at the end of the day. “
