Hamilton hopes 'something positive' comes up for Vettel in 2021

Lewis Hamilton says the way Formula 1 rival Sebastian Vettel has handled his pending Ferrari exit proves the strength of character. Four-time Formula 1 world champion Vettel will leave Ferrari at the end of the year after the team opted against renewing his contract. Vettel is currently without a drive for next year, but is known to be in talks with Racing Point over a drive for 2021. Six-time world champion Hamilton had previously not been drawn on Vettel's future, but praised the Ferrari driver for his resolve amid struggles with Ferrari's SF1000 car. "I've made comments in the past, but I saw the difficult race he had had previously [at Silverstone], and all I can try to do is empathise with the position he's in and try to be understanding," Mercedes driver Hamilton said. "Because it can never be a great feeling, to have been told that you're not wanted to continue within the team, especially when you join a team and get into a team, you give your all, you give your heart. "But I think the way he is pushing and the way he is continuing to try help the team, I think it just shows the great character he has and [his] commitment to racing. I hope that something really positive comes up for him moving forwards." Source: AutoSport
