Alain Prost has advised Lewis Hamilton to change his approach to racing if he wants to fight Sebastian Vettl in the coming period of Formula One.

Although the Frenchman believes Hamilton has taken a pure racing approach, at the same time he is convinced that this distances him from fighting Vettl. The German won his fourth world title in India just over a week ago, and continued his incredible streak of seven consecutive victories in Abu Dhabi. Free spent quite a few hours in the Red Bull garage through connections with Renault and thus had a great opportunity to observe Vettl and his approach to racing. According to him, this is the one that will bring him a big advantage next season.

“Sebastian works with team members a little differently than the others. That gives him an edge and confidence, ”said Prost, who has won four laurels in his career as a Formula One racer, just like Vettel. “His opposite is Lewis, who is more dedicated to racing. In my opinion, he is one of the fastest racers, perhaps one of the best, but is he exploiting his full potential? I don't think so. He may find new motivation next season, but at the moment he is having a hard time competing with Sebastian and I think he should adjust his approach a bit. ”

The changes, such as the shift to 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 engines, changes in waste energy recycling and reduced fuel in race cars, will reward racers who use their heads, according to Prost, who claims that this is why Hamilton will not pick up. different paths, became just another one of the other racers. “You used to have a raw race car in your hands. Now it's a package like Vettl's. You don't race alone today. There is a huge amount of computer equipment behind you. I may be wrong, but the new rules are in the hands of Vettl, not Hamilton. ”
