British drivers refuse to give up chase despite Vettel’s Schumacher-like dominance

LEWIS HAMILTON and Jenson Button insist there is no doom and gloom despite watching Sebastian Vettel start to exert a stranglehold on Formula One akin to the halcyon days of Michael Schumacher.

The reigning world champion is adamant he is not unbeatable, but at present there is no-one who can hold a candle to Vettel in his all-conquering Red Bull.

Taking the end of last season into consideration Vettel has scored five successive pole positions and won six of the last eight races.
