Lewis Hamilton has admitted that it was his fault Sebastian Vettel overtook him at the Korean Grand Prix.

Despite securing pole position, Hamilton conceded the lead to Vettel on the first lap and the German didn’t look back.

Having had time to reflect, the McLaren man – who held off Mark Webber to secure 2nd position – has accepted the blame for the disappointing start.

He said: “The start was good, but I lost a position to Sebastian and that was really the end of the opportunity of winning.”

“It was probably my fault, I left a bit of a gap, but I’d already moved once and I thought that, moving again, I would probably be in trouble.”

“I left a gap and it was impossible really to catch him again, to get close enough to overtake him.”

“Later on in the race, we just really struggled. I had pretty much full lock on everywhere and was struggling with a lot of understeer.”

“When it got to the last sector, he was probably flat through the last corner and I was having a big lift, struggling with a lot of front end, and it got worse and worse through the race. Eventually, I just started losing him.”
