SEBASTIAN VETTEL says he's desperate to beat Lewis Hamilton to a fifth F1 title.
The Ferrari ace is currently leading the drivers' championship and sits just one-point ahead of Hamilton.

Vettel, who has had a turbulent relationship with the Brit in the past, also rates himself as a better driver than his rival.
He said: "Of course I think I'm a better driver than Lewis. Everybody has their strengths and weakness.
"There are some things that he is stronger at than me...I think Lewis has great talent, has great skill in the car. That's his biggest strengths.
"Do I worry about him? Yes, because he is a rival. How much would I like to beat him to a fifth title? A lot, because that would mean winning it this year.
"That said, I am not thinking about the championship yet. I think it is much more important that we keep on pushing the development of the car.
"Last year, the season drifted away from us because we were not strong enough. Ultimately if you have a car that gives you a chance to win things, then things can happen."


Vettel has also opened the lid on their now famous clash at Baku in 2017 where he used his car to deliberately ram into Hamilton.
Vettel was heavily criticised for the road-rage yet he has denied his actions were "dirty" and says he wants to race fairly.
He added: "Why should I be dirty? I didn't intend to race dirty in Baku and I don't think I was dirty. I think it was a reaction.
"Was it the right one? No it wasn't, would I do it again? No. Was it necessary? No. Did I lose the race because of that? Yes.
"A lot of things don't stack up but I wasn't intending to hurt him, I wasn't intending to end his race or my race, was a little touch which wasn't necessary.
"I will say on the rivalry; I can judge what he's doing on track and I think he deserves to be in the position that he's in.
"It's not part of my play to distract somebody else and hoping because of that he losses his line or focus."
