The Mexican Grand Prix more giving him his fourth world championship: “Equaling Vettel's number of titles doesn't have much value for me, because it doesn't mean much.

Yes, Seb has some weaknesses and they show“, he declared referring to the relationship with Vettel and the possibility of winning the world championship.

Perhaps Hamilton would have a few more, looking back: “If I think about the past, by changing some things I would have more titles, especially in 2007, and one day I'll actually tell you what I think happened that year. This would be a positive moment for me to deal with a team, but I'm happy with the current situation, Mercedes values ​​me. We worked a lot together, in the end all my successes were with them. It's difficult to see me somewhere else, we complete each other, I don't think I'll leave", she commented, declaring eternal love for Mercedes.
