‘He delivered almost every weekend’
Lewis Hamilton is impressed with Max Verstappen’s performance this year. The seven-time world champion believes that Verstappen ‘did everything he had to do’.
After the intense title battle between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen last year, you might expect that there is still some old pain between the two, but the Briton shows nothing of that in Brazil. In fact, the most successful F1 driver ever takes his hat off to his former rival for what he has accomplished this year. “I haven’t been able to study everything Max has done this year, but I think he did a great job. He did everything he had to do, his team gave him a great car and he delivered almost every weekend.” draw Sky Sports on.
Hamilton has no doubts about whether Verstappen has what it takes to win the last two races of the season. “He can extend the record he already has. He has the chance to win the next two races if we or Ferrari can’t stop him.” Hamilton is in any case not too optimistic about his own chances in Brazil. At this track, it comes down to the top speed of the cars a bit more and that remains a difficult point for Mercedes. In Abu Dhabi, the last destination of the year, according to the 37-year-old, that will already be a problem.
