Sebastian Vettel: It's pretty obvious Lewis Hamilton did a better job

AUSTIN, Texas -- Sebastian Vettel says the 67-point gap between himself and Lewis Hamilton tells you all you need to know about who has done a better job in this year's championship fight.

Vettel's title campaign is all but over ahead of this weekend's U.S. Grand Prix as he arrives in Austin needing a top two finish just to keep his slim title hopes alive. A series of mistakes by the German midway through the season saw Hamilton take the lead in the championship and Mercedes' recent performance gains have helped Hamilton move out of reach.

Asked if he accepted that Hamilton and Mercedes had done a better job this year, Vettel said: "So far yes," he said on Thursday.
