Lewis Hamilton shares concerns around title fight

Recently, Toto Wolff likened the Hamilton-Verstappen rivalry to the one between Prost and Senna. But remembering the 1989 Japanese Grand Prix, Hamilton is wary of collisions deciding the championship.

Hamilton shared that he wanted to win the title properly. “I’m here to win in the right way and that’s through sheer skill and determination and hard work.”

However, this also meant that the Brit didn’t want to lose the title in the wrong way.

“If you’re going to lose it, you lose it the right way also: with dignity and knowing that you’re giving it you’re all and you’ve done things the right way and you’ve worked as hard as you could.”

While Hamilton acknowledged the pressures on Verstappen, the Dutchman is as cool as ever. He, too, shared his take on the parallels drawn to Prost-Senna.

“I don’t really think about previous historic fights between two drivers, what they have done–that’s the past. I just focus on what I have to do on track and that’s to try and do the best I can, and that’s how at the end of the day you’re going to win the championship.”

With both drivers focused on the now, Mexico is going to be yet another glorious battle for points as the championship reaches a zenith.
