Hamilton calls for more Vettel respect Vettel was involved in contact with Max Verstappen during the Japanese Grand Prix that eventually limited him to sixth place. While the German has been criticised for his various mistakes, the Italian team has been called out on its strategic errors and its recent drop-off in pace.

"I feel the media need to show a little more respect for Sebastian", Hamilton wrote. You simply can not imagine how hard it is to do what we do at our level, for any athlete at the top of their game that is.

Lewis Hamilton says Formula 1 title rival Sebastian Vettel has received too much criticism this year. Max couldn't just say "Please go past me". I honestly thought that we were going to have that.

"Obviously then we never know, because I had damage and in traffic and so on, but I was happy from my point of view with what I had in the race".

"As was the case past year, in September and October Ferrari seems to have gone off the rails", commented Ross Brawn, Formula One's managing director for motorsport and a former Mercedes team boss as well as ex-Ferrari technical director.

If the championship goes to Mexico's race the following weekend, Hamilton will secure the championship if his lead is 50 points or more by the end of that round.

"There is still a chance", he said. "Already at the last race we could see that he [Vettel] has accepted he cannot win".

"But we look forward and even if the last weeks have been hard, the spirit inside the team, if you look at the guys, it is incredible how strong, positive and powerful they are".
