Verstappen and Hamilton famously went head-to-head for the 2021 F1 drivers’ championship.

The Dutchman ultimately came out on top after a controversial title-decider in Abu Dhabi, benefitting from ꦏa ꧑poor decision from former race director Michael Masi.

Since then, the pair have had contrasting fortunes with Verst🤪appen adding two more titles to his troph🌄y cabinet, while Hamilton has failed to win a single grand prix.

During the last two seasons, battles between them have been rare, but they did co🐬me to blows at the 2022 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

“I don’t need that kind of rivalry,” Versta𝔉ppen told when asked about Hamilton.

“Of course w꧅e want to beat each other, but honestly, once we’re in a private setting it’s like just normaꦅl guys.”

Verstappen has been tipped to topple Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher’s record of seven world titles.

“If it happens, it happens,” he responded.

“But you need to be lucky to🍰 be in a great car for a longer period of time. You’r𝔉e very dependent on the material you have.

“When I won my first title, I said, everything that comes next is a bonus be🐼cause, realistically, in F1, I’ve achieved ♏everything that I wanted to achieve.

“Being on the podium, having a pole position, winning a championship. These kinds of th🥂ings were my dream to achieve in F1. From now on, I’m just, yeah, trying to stay on top.”
