In an interview with Channel 4, the Mercedes driver poured heaps of praise on the Aston Martin driver, saying:"I'm really grateful and really honoured actually to have the relationship that I do with with him. A man that really generally stands by his word, full of integrity, generally just very, very kind and humble, and full of humility. But also compassion, he's one of the only drivers that stands for something. I mean, what other driver has really truly stood for something other than themselves? That's something to be really admired in human beings. We're gonna miss him."deni@fiagirly#F1: Lewis Hamilton on Sebastian Vettel: “I’m really really grateful and really honoured to have the relationship that I do with him (…) a man that generally stand by his word, full of integrity, generally just very very kind and humble, but also compassion.”28713#F1: Lewis Hamilton on Sebastian Vettel: “I’m really really grateful and really honoured to have the relationship that I do with him (…) a man that generally stand by his word, full of integrity, generally just very very kind and humble, but also compassion.”Speaking about Vettel's potential return to F1, the Briton said:"I mean, Hulkenberg coming back!
