Hamilton would welcome more battles with Vettel

Lewis Hamilton welcomes the prospect of regular wheel-to-wheel battles with Sebastian Vettel in the future – once he and his Mercedes team have made sure of winning this years title race.
The defending two-time world champion said Ferrari's revival since four-time champion German Vettel had joined them proved they are a real threat to Mercedes' domination.
Speaking to reporters at Sochi on Thursday, ahead of this weekend’s Russian Grand Prix, the 30-year-old Briton said he would enjoy much more close racing with the Ferrari driver.
"I think it would be cool to see a lot more of the racing like I had with Nico (Rosberg) in Bahrain last season – it was like a karting race!" said Hamilton.
"It would be great if we could have more than that, week in and week out and I would love that with Sebastian."
Hamilton added that he expected Ferrari to become an increasingly threatening rival to Mercedes. "They have had a few wins and they are improving all the time," he said.
"They are a serious threat and will continue to be a threat, but we are not going to give up improving and working to stay on top."
