Hamilton won six of his seven world championships during Mercedes’ sustained period of dominance in the V6 turbo hybrid era as the German manufacturer went unbeaten betwe꧙en 2014-2020. 

Verstappen already appears to be cruising towards his third consecutive world title after winning two of the first three races amid Red Bull's 100 percent winning start 🍷to 2023. 🐎;

But the Dutchman, who denied Hamilton a record-breaking eighth world title in the controversial 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, strongly rejected his rival’s recent suggestion♈. 

"I thin𝔍k if you look at the statistics, then those statements are not correct,” Verstappen said via RacingNews365. 

"But we also do have a very good car. Nothing wrong with that, of course. Still, we are not as d🌃ominant as Mercedes has shown some years.

"I don’t pay muchꦍ attention to that, that doesn’t get y🐽ou anywhere.

"Whatever we have done in the⭕ eight years that Mercedes is so dominant, we also tried to close the gap. That’s the only thing you can do.”

After watching Verstappen breeze past him in Jeddah, Hamilton said: “I’ve definitely never seen a car ༒so f📖ast.

“When we were fast we weren’t that fast. That’s the fast🎃est car, I think, I’ve seen, especially compared to the rest, I don’t know why or how b꧑ut he came past me with serious speed.

“I didn’t even both🦋er to block because there was a massive speed difference… yep.”

Hamilton again underlined Red Bull’s superiority over 🧜;the field𒅌 after being easily overtaken by Verstappen last timꦕe out in Melbourne. 

“We’ve got work to do to catch the Red Bull - it came flying past and dis๊appeared,” Hamilto♐n told Sky. 

“Max is in ano𝓀ther league, his car is so fast. He passed me halfway down the straight and he was like 10 met🍷res ahead. I don’t know how they are so quick on the straight - it’s insane.

“They are just in another league. Until we pick up speed on the straight like they have, and have the💟 crazy downforce they have through the corners, that’s how it’s going to continue.”
