After falling further behind championship rival Lewis Hamilton in the driver’s standings following the Singapore Grand Prix, Sebastian Vettel says that he must now aim to win the final six races of the season in order to win the 2018 title.
Vettel crossed the line in Singapore in third place, while Hamilton went on to take his seventh win of the season. The gap between the two now reads 40 points, and Vettel admits that he has to up his form in order to claim his fifth world championship.
“Obviously it’s not great when you come to the end of the championship and you’re losing points rather than making up points, but we still have a lot of races left and some time to go,” said Vettel.
