Over the Italian Grand Prix weekend, Hamilton questioned the pedigree of Verstappen’s F1 teammates and also claimed the Dutchman’s success has been 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“blown up much more” than his own. 

When asked for his thoughts on Verstappen’s record 10th straight win in Sunday’s race at Monza, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff dismissed the historic victory as “irrelevant”, adding the achievement was simply 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“for Wikipedia”

But those remarks did not sit෴ well with ex-drivꦆer-turned pundit Brundle. 

“For Max Verstappen to win 10 consecutive races,🌠 along with Red Bull tak𒈔ing all 15 races so far this season, it’s truly something to behold,” he wrote in his latest. 

“What an achievement to faultl𓆏essly keep up that level of performance and reliability on many different track layouts and in varying weather condiဣtions, up against mighty opposition. Congratulations to each and every one of them.

“If a tennis player or football or rugby team for example was so utterly complete and dominant, they w🐟ould rightly be globally lauded at the highest level. As should this pairing be.

“Sport can and should be tribal, but you must surely also ap🤡preciate a level of excellence in others.

“So I was a little surprised and disappointed that Lewis Hamilton and Toto Wolff played down this achievement over the w🧸eekend because they rightly received their due reverence and apprec💞iation during their years of total domination from 2014 to 2020.”

Brundle did however acknowledge that Red Bull’s own comments in the press, and actions - such as breaching the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 cost cap last year - have not helped their cause.

“At the same time Max and Red ꦓBull will no doubt reflect on a few pa✨st actions and words which have diluted their current appreciation levels in some quarters. 

“But it's all to be 🉐expected when you put so man🐽y intensely competitive people into the same space.”
