BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Lewis Hamilton says this year's title fight has put him under more pressure to perform than ever before as he goes up against Sebastian Vettel in the drivers' championship.
The Mercedes driver leads the Ferrari driver by 17 points in the standings after winning at the German Grand Prix last weekend, but is convinced Vettel has the faster car.
Hamilton goes into this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix as an outside bet on a circuit where Ferrari won last year and Red Bull is expected to be strong, and he says he is feeling the pressure build as he enters the second half of the season.
