#F1 Vettel-Hamilton battle could it get even better? Bahrain Next Fri/Sat/Sun

Two races on two very different tracks with two winners in two very closely matched cars — the 2017 season is already shaping up to be a thriller. At both races the result could have swung either way and at this stage it’s impossible to guess which way the next round will go. Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel have a fight on their hands, and they’re relishing the battle.

“Right now, we’re fighting up against a four-time world champion,” Hamilton said after the race. “He is at his best and he is phenomenally quick. Ferrari are at their best in years. So we’re at our best as a team, and I feel like I’m at my best.

“The ultimate fighter always wants to go up against the best battle he can have because then when you come out on top, it’s so much more satisfying. I love this fight. It’s going to go right down to the end of the season, and I hope for both of us there’s nothing mechanical comes between our sheer battle in ability.”
