''I am sure I can be just as quick as him''German Formula One driver Adrian Sutil insisted on Monday he can be just as good as Championship leader Lewis Hamilton.
The Spyker racer finished 13th at this month's Spanish Grand Prix, says he can be just as good as Hamilton,
who dominated the 2005 F3 Euroseries championship when Sutil finished second.
Hamilton has yet to finish outside the top three after four races. But Sutil, who is enjoying more modest success in his debut Formula One campaign and is yet to win a single point, says he can match Hamilton.
"I don't think I have anything to envy when it comes to Lewis, I am sure I can be just as quick as him," he told German sports magazine Kicker.
"In Formula One, the driver is important, but the car makes up about 70 per cent of the performance.
An average driver can win with a good car and even be world champion."
Sutil, the son of a musical conductor, nevertheless acknowledged Hamilton's considerable talent.
"Everyone can see what a good driver he is. I knew he had the talent to lead the championship while nobody thought he had much chance up against Alonso," said Sutil.
