Hamilton saw no need to dig back at Vettel

Lewis Hamilton saw no need to reply to Sebastian Vettel's "we did it at their home" dig, as Lewis ensured he did it at Sebastian's home as well.

Sebastian Vettel's Silverstone win a few weeks ago sparked celebrations on the team radio with the German gloating that he had won in Hamilton's home country.

"We did it at their home," Vettel said ecstatically. 

A couple of weeks later, Vettel crashed out of his home race at the Hockenheimring and Hamilton came from 14th on the grid to win superbly in Germany.

"We had a super car, a great strategy and we did it at their home," Hamilton told Planet F1.

"Now we take the English flag and hang it in Maranello... Yes!"

Hamilton said that Vettel's antics a few weeks ago at Silverstone, he sees as weaknesses for the Ferrari driver and doesn't get triggered by it.

"I see that as a weakness rather than a whole need to even say anything," said the Mercedes man.

"Honestly, I don't need to search for a boost or energy from other people's business. I just focus on mine.

"I'm just focussed on trying to be the best I can be in myself. Because the best me - if I'm my best and my higher self - I feel like I'm able to drive like I was able to, regardless of all the people and who else is around doing whatever they are doing.

"So, I did say when I came here that you can see things and they can often be maybe a sign of weakness.

"As I said, if we just keep our heads down, we knew this weekend Ferrari were going to be quick and they're ridiculously quick on the straights."
