Fittipaldi tips Hamilton for title

Two-time Formula One world champion Emerson Fittipaldi has tipped Lewis Hamilton to beat Fernando Alonso to this year's drivers' crown.

Hamilton currently leads the standings by five points from his McLaren team-mate.

Fittipaldi, now head of Team Brazil in the A1GP series, said: "Lewis is very good, very determined, and in my opinion has the best chance of winning the championship."

He added: "Lewis is very focused and very established even though he is new.

"Fernando is very nervous and is not concerned with going fast. He has to focus on his driving and go for it, not be complaining so much about Lewis Hamilton.

"He's very talented and he should be focused more on driving, and then he can get back to being more competitive again."
