Hamilton wants Mclaren to give him a car as good as that of F1 leader Vettel
Hamilton wants Mclaren to give him a car as good as that of F1 leader Vettel Lewis Hamilton says he "wants what Red Bull have" but hopes that his McLaren team can give it to him.
Hamilton trails Sebastian Vettel by 89 points in this year's championship, while the German's blistering start to the season has seen him overhaul Hamilton's tally of 15 career wins.

But the 26-year-old is backing the team he has been with all his career to at least try and find a way to regain their place at the top of the pile.
"He (Vettel) has taken away my youngest champion (tag) from me and on the road he's on I hope he doesn't pull too far away in terms of wins," Hamilton told the Independent ahead of his home Grand Prix at Silverstone this weekend.
"I think the title is a long way away. That's disappointing, given the effort I've made this year.
"I know how hard the team are pushing. But this is the third year in a row when we haven't had a car with a chance of taking the title.
"I feel that I've given them a good direction of what I want to see in the car. It seems obvious: I want what Red Bull have, but it isn't as simple as that."
