Lewis Hamilton admits that he takes pride in not making on-track mistakes like title rival Sebastian Vettel. Vettel has made a number of costly errors this season, including crashing out of the lead of the race in Germany and spinning around after making contact with Hamilton in Italy.
The Ferrari driver hit the wall during free practice on Friday in Singapore, damaging his car and ending his session early. Hamilton now boasts a 40 point lead in the championship, and is on course to pick up his fifth world title.
“I don’t look at it and think ‘we’ve lucked in’,” Hamilton said.
