Verstappen enters 2023 aiming for his third consecutive title, but r🦩ival Hamilton is vying to end his dominance and claim an all-time record eighth.

Hamilton and Schumacher share the joint-record most championships (seven) which wo♌uld take Verstappen, aged 25, at least another five years to equal.

“I think I already achieved more th✨an I could ever dream of, so for me I always just try to get the best o💎ut of myself,” Verstappen said to . 

“I don’t really think about where I am between all of the all-tim💞e greats in terms of championships or wins. Iꦡ just want to do my job. 

“I of course know I hav♉e a contract through to 2028, so I want to try and win more w🐓ith this team — more races and potentially championships.

“But I’ve never really been a guy that likes statisti𝓀cs 🔴or whatever. 

“I always want to come out of a race weekend and tell♎ myself that I gave it all and that I really 🌳extracted everything out of myself, because then I’m happy. 

“Then also once you stop racing, if I can look back at my years in Formula 1 and say, ‘Did I really get everything out of𝄹 it?’ and if I did and I can say ‘Yes🃏’ to myself, then I’m happy.”

Of course, Verstappen’s lack of interest in claiminꦏg some of F1’s all-time records could be viewed as a dismissal of H🐼amilton’s legacy.

Hamilton has usurped many of the records previously held by 🌼the legendary Schumacher and, with a new contract expected to be signed, will remain in F1 to extend his own staggering numbers.

He has the most ♏wins in F1 history (103)♈, and the most races with a single constructor (200).

Verstappen does hold the all-time record as the youngest driver to start a race (17 years and 166 days) and the youngest race winner (18 years▨, 228 days).
