Verstappen inflicted a home defeat on Charles Leclerc and Ferrari by charging to his 11th victory in 15 races at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Italian Grand Prix to edge ever closer to clinching his second world title.&nb🅷sp;

The Dutchman is on a run of five consecutive☂ victories but, remarkably, only one of those has come from pole position. Verstappen won from 10th in Hungary, 14th in Belgium, and his latest win at Monza - the 31st of his c🌼areer - came from seventh after being hit with a grid penalty for using too many engine parts. 

Hamilton is enduring his longest streak without a victory amid Red Bull’s domination and is at 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:risk of losing his record of being the only F1 driver in history to have won a race in each sꦡeason they have🥃 competed. 

Asked whether he thinks a win could be possible at the next race in Singapore, Hamilton said: “💖We have to be realistic. That Red Bull is almost uཧnbeatable. 

“It’s going to take some real d🍰oing to beat that car. Performance-🌃wise they are fully ahead of everyone. 

“We haven’t caught them and we don’t have upgrades coming t༺o overtake them, so it’s going to take some fortune going our way. 

“Not impossible, because we could potentially have beaten them in Zandvoort, maybe could have beaten them💖 in Budapest. 

“But he [Verstappen] has🌄 generally chilled at the front, so you never know the t🗹rue pace.” 

Lewis Hamilton: Battling ‘way more fun than starting first’ 

The seven-time world cha🅘mpion turned in a strong recovery drive to finish fifth at Monza, having started from 19th due to en🦩forced power unit changes following damage picked up in his first-lap collision with Fernando Alonso at Spa. 

Hamilton said he found fight༒ing his way through the pack more enjoyable than simply starting from the front, in what appeared to be a dig towards his 2021 title rival Verstappen. 

“[It’s] a thousand times more enjoyable, battling with people,” he said. “I remember my f💫irst go-kart was like an old kart, we always had to start🐲 at the back, old tyres, that’s what I’ve always enjoyed doing. 

“So today, having those battles, is way more fun than starting first. It’s a diffe🙈rent chapter but I must prefer battles.”

He added: “When you win it’s something completely different. I love the idea of m💟oving forwards. I felt like I climbed up a ladder. Progress is a good feeling.” 

A crucial moment on Hamilton’s rise to fifth came when he pulled off a superb double overtake on Mc💃♈Laren’s Lando Norris and AlphaTauri driver Pierre Gasly on the run to Curva Grande. 

“This was a key move,” Hamilton explained. “Ifꩲ I hadn’t pulled that off 🍸then I would have been two places back. It’s about timing. You don’t always get it right. 

“I saw Lando coming out and I was like ‘this is the one moment we have the chance’. Unfortunately for him he was being channelled by someone else around the outside, so I cut across. It fౠelt great.”
