Verstappen was asked about Hamilton’ཧs comment, when the Mercedes driver said: "People like to talk about there being problems between Max and me. I respect him. 

“He is a lot younger, so maybe he has🐻 a🍷 problem with me. But I am not sure about that and I actually assume not. Although I can't speak for him."

Verstappen’s 🎶response was: "I don’t have an issue with anyone. We all sat at that dinner in Abu Dhabi [for Sebastian Vettel’s retirement] and we all had a laugh with everyone, we all had a good time. So that's okay."

Verstappen addressed Hamilton’s possible return to the title battle: "From our side we can do better because in q🦩ualifying, most of the time [last year] we were not the quickest car. For the sport, everyone wants a 𝔉title battle with multiple teams involved."

Red Bull launched their RB19 car for the 202🍌3 season in Ne🧜w York, which they hope will power Verstappen to a third consecutive title.
