Lewis Hamilton Reveals His Most Enjoyable Racing Rival in Candid Admission.

The F1 great Lewis Hamiton has Picked the German Sebastian Vettel as the driver he enjoyed competing against the most.
Both drivers shared the F1 stage for over a decade with two dominant cars on the grid. While initially, the pair didn’t get along, by the end of Vettel’s career, both drivers were close friends.

In a recent interview, Hamilton was asked to choose a driver whom he enjoyed racing against the most. The Brit named Vettel and said that it was always a gritty challenge racing against him.

The Seven-time champion replied with “Sebastian Vettel. I’ve always enjoyed racing against him, every race has always been a gritty challenge,” 

The British driver further added that he had learned so many things from the German Sebastian Vettel during their time in F1.

“He taught me three basic words: never give up. These are the words he repeated to me most often. Not to give up, to keep pushing, to continue to fight. When you’re a kid and things seem too hard you’d just want to give up everything. My father, on the other hand, always spurred me on, telling me to stay focused and move on. When I failed he told me to try again. His words became like a mantra,” Hamilton said.

Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel first started trading blows in 2009 when Mclaren and Red Bull had a competitive car. First, it was the German who dominated the sport from 2010 to 2013, then it was the British driver who held the advantage from 2014 onwards.

Vettel and Hamilton were part of a title battle in 2010 and 2012, where the former triumphed over the McLaren driver. When Hamilton was at Mercedes, the two battled it out in 2017 and 2018, and it was the Brit who came out on top.
