Hamilton caused a stir, amid Vers💜tappen’s recorꦯd-breaking 10th grand prix win in a row, claiming that his teammates are better than his rival’s.

Button, the 2009 F1 ch𓆉amꦛpion, is one of Hamilton’s most esteemed former teammates.

“I think 💖Lewis has had some very tough teammates,” he said to Sky. 

“He’s had world champions as t♕eammates, whe𝔍reas Max hasn’t.

🔯“But, for me, I would be more fearful going up against Max in the same car.

“Because the car is designed around his style. Or,🍨 he can drive the car that Adrian Newey gives him.

“Newey gives him a car and says ‘this is the quickest car in the world, if you take away front downforce, it’s going to go slowe🦋r but will be easier to drive’.

“Max is like ‘I have to ܫdrive how you’ve made the car, as quick as I can’.

“He’s very good at♌ that. A lot of drivers st♏ruggle to compete with that.

“It’s a long answer but it’s a difficult one.

“I think🦂 Lewi𒆙s has had more difficult teammates but I also wouldn’t want to go up against Max.

“They are all unbelievable drivers, the best in the world, 🌼some of the best ever in F1.

“I wish there was moreꦓ competition at the front. Between Max, Lewis, Fernando - those are the ones who stand out.

“But it’s not the way in F1, it’s a technology 🔴race. And Red Bull? Fair play t🌄o them, they’re doing the better job right now.”

Hamilton originally claimed: “All my team-mates have been st🃏ronger than the team-mates that Max has had.

"These guys have all been very consi💜stent, and Max has not raced 📖against anyone like that.”

Verstappen labelled Hamilton “jealous”.

Nico Rosberg🦄, who beat Hamilton to the F1 title when they were together at Mercedes, previously chimed in: “He had three world champions as team-mates. That says a lot🌱, doesn’t it? So I do think it’s correct. 

“Nevertheless, it’s not really that relevant because 🍰we all know how amazingly awesome Max is driving.

“Max is going very strongly towards that same lev🍬el as Hamilton, Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna. He’s gonna be one of those closely almost top-five greats.”
