Verstappen has won back-to-back F1 championships and - despite winning in the wake of the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2021 F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 cost cap issue - is the grid’s outstanding performer.

But Hamilton still hไolds the joint-record for most titles (seven) and plans to charge back into contention in 2023.

"Max drives with more confidence than ever, with more overview, at the same time becoming a ♌tꦍyre expert. 

“For example, h🎶e rides longer on a soft tyre than rivals with a harder ๊compound, I think for him there is no limit.

“He gets in the car and is so confident from the first free practice session, from the 🐎first lap that you can see t🍨hat when it's wet, it's two seconds faster than the rest in the first laps, everyone has to get closer first."

Christian Horner, Red Bull team principal, has compared Verstappen to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel, who won fouꦐr titles with the team but has now retired. 

"They share the same hunger to win," Horner said.

"But they're two completely different people. Max is a very natural and instinctive driver. Sebastian thought a lot about his driving. I think Max 💞is less 'absorbed' by the details than 𒅌Sebastian.

“I never look too far, but for me, Max 𓆏is way above the rest in Formula 1. I th🌳ink he can achieve much more if we give him a car that matches his talents.”

Hamilton was restricted to sixth in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 standings in 2022, his worst-ever result, and didn’t win a single race all seဣason for the first time in his career.
