• Sebastian Vettel denies he will retire at end of year
Lewis Hamilton has said he believes this has been his best start to a season since his Formula One debut in 2007. The British driver, now in his 13th year in the sport, leads the world championship after a dominant opening with seven wins in 10 races. His rival Sebastian Vettel has insisted he is still strongly motivated to continue with Ferrari, despite a season in which their car has been off the pace and he has failed to match the Mercedes.
Hamilton and Mercedes have delivered with exceptional skill and, with two victories to Hamilton’s teammate Valtteri Bottas, the team have won all but one race. Hamilton leads Bottas by 39 points in the championship with 11 races remaining. Vettel is 100 points behind and out of the title fight.
