Alain Prost: “Sebastian Vettel could have this advantage in 2019”

Lewis Hamilton may not have the same motivation next season which could allow Sebastian Vettel a foot in the World Championship door, according to Alain Prost. Hamilton won his fifth title and that outs the Brit level with Argentine driver Juan Manuel Fangio with only Schumacher ahead of the pair. "We all thought it was impossible," Prost told Motorsport. "I always said this year, if you are Sebastian or Lewis, you cannot have a problem of motivation. "Because they were both four times champions, and they knew that there would be a fight between them, so they'd be the first one at five. "After that it's personal. Is the target to be at least seven, or not? I think the target is to be again world champion, and see what happens next year. “It's the first step, a personal decision. When you are on five, you think about six, you don't think about seven or eight. "Sometimes if for example like next year you have a change of regulations, it can always give you an extra motivation, because inside the team you don't know how to manage that, and it's again going to be a long season. "That's why it's difficult to tell. You know one day you wake up and then say do I want to do that again? You don't know, nobody knows."
