Lewis Hamilton fears Ferrari in the run-up to Hungary

Lewis Hamilton fears Ferrari in the run-up to Hungary

Lewis Hamilton has regained the championship lead following his race win yesterday. But he knows full well that Sebastian Vettel and his Ferrari team will fight back in Hungary next weekend.

The Brit has a 17 point advantage of the German. Hamilton knows just how quickly this can be reversed as it has been done twice already this season. The Hungaroring doesn’t particularly suit the Silver Arrow and results in the past have demonstrated this. The four-time World Champion knows the potential that Ferrari have. 

“It is not our strongest circuit on the calendar. The emphasis is less on engine power. We have to wait and see how Ferrari can compensate the power source in Hungary and hopefully we can handle it,” Hamilton told London Evening Standard.
