Ver🔜stappen enters 2023 aiming for his third consecutive title, but rival 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 would take Verstappen, ♚aged 25, at least another five years to equal.

“I think I already achieved more than I🐽 could ever dream of, so for me I🐟 always just try to get the best out of myself,” Verstappen said to . 

“I don’t really think about where I am between all of the all-time g♚reats in terms of cha♚mpionships or wins. I just want to do my job. 

“I of course know I have a contract through to 2028, so I want to try and win more with this team — more races and potentiall💟y championships.

“Bu༒t I’ve never really been a guy that likes statistics 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. 

“𝓰Then 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 claiming some of F1’s ♛all-time records could be view𒅌ed as a dismissal of Hamilton’s legacy.

Hamilton has usurped many of the records previously held by ꧑the 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 w⛦ins 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 day🌌s).
