Mark Webber believes Lewis Hamilton has the advantage over Max Verstappen in the battle for the world title. Hamilton has been able to fight for the title several times and will take what he has learned from those years into the current Formula One season finale.

Webber remembers in conversation with Formule1.nl what it is like to fight for a world title. In 2010 he was a contendor for the world title in Formula 1 for the first time, but in the end the Aussie missed out to his teammate, Sebastian Vettel.

Webber on title fight

"Your focus becomes tighter, everything is more geared towards that title fight," he said. It's not only about what happens in the car, but also everything around it. According to Webber you have to answer the same questions from the media day in, day out.

Hamilton is fighting for his eighth world title and according to Webber that is a big advantage compared to Verstappen. " Lewis is the best in the business when it comes to title experience," he added.
