Lewis Hamilton excited by five-way battle for F1 title

Lewis Hamilton says he is excited by the intense competition for the Formula 1 drivers’ championship – with five men in contention to win the title. The top five drivers are separated by 20 points going into the summer break with Red Bull’s Mark Webber in top spot after he won the Hungarian Grand Prix. With seven races to go, Hamilton has 157 points, four points behind Webber, while Webber’s team-mate Sebastein Vettel is third on 151 points, McLaren’s Jenson Button is fourth on 147 and Ferrari’s fifth-placed driver Fernando Alonso is on 141 points. McLaren’s Hamilton told his website:”We’ll resume as if it’s the start of the year, with everything to play for. “None of the top three teams are really behind on points. That’s exciting!”Prior to Hungary, Hamilton had led the championship since the eighth race of the season in Canada after collecting back-to-back wins in Istanbul and Montreal but the 25-year-old has not topped the podium since.
