Poleg tega Leclerc not long enough in Formulas 1. "The race was only in their second Formula 1 season, while Kimi and Mark had been in Formula 1 for a very long time and had a lot more experience,” he says Hag, which itself never draws comparisons. “It’s good to be the right benchmark, especially at a time when I’ve had some trouble getting the most out of myself and the race car. Then it can help someone." Internal comparison is also good for the team, adds the German.

But who is for Vettel tougher opponent: Leclerc or a five-time world champion Lewis Hamilton? "I think it's Lewis. I don't have in my head how far behind we are in the championship, but mostly he brought us to the finish line in front of us."It simply came to our notice then attributed to the racer rather than the racer, Vettel this does not accept. "He deserved his titles." Mercedes Benz has otherwise had in recent years the best race car and perhaps we would celebrate successes with it as well other racers.

"But it must be admitted that this was not just a Mercedes or just a Lewis, but a combination that managed to be hard to beat. Mercedes is very constant and makes few mistakes. That needs to be acknowledged to them. And I think it's fair to always mention both: Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton,He added Hag.
