Red Bull driver Verstappen has won two F1 championships back-to-back, firstly by controversially edging Mercedes’ Hamilton at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and then amid the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 cost cap row.

Hamilton is now 38 and time is runnin꧋g out for him to add an eighth title, which would be an 🥂all-time record.

“Max is technically extremely gifted,” said Red Bull chief engineer Paul Monaghan.&ꦜnbsp;

“He did a lot of work as a youngster, often guided by his father, and you can see the 🐬legacy of that. He knows what he’s talking about within the car,꧃ and he knows what he wants.

“With his engineers, they know how to deliver a car that he finds nicely-balanced, easy to drive. Well, not necessarily easy to drive, but driveable. It looks after its tyre𒉰s we☂ll enough that he can manage a situation.”

“If you look at his record over the past seasons he’s been wi𝔍th us, it’s stunning. He wouldn’t achieve that if he wasn’t an exceptional 𒈔driver. 

“And꧃ can he improve? Yes, of course he can. He might not thank me for saying that.

“I think there are areas he can get a little bit bett𓆏er. He’ll dig into himself and think what could he do better for a season, and it’s up to us to give him a car to go and demonstrate those skills.”

Hamilton’s issues with Mercedes’ porpoising meant tღhat he was never able to pick up his rivalry𒁏 where it left off in the confusing scenes of Abu Dhabi at the end of 2021.

By the time that Mercedes were on top of their W13’s performance issues, Ver𓆏stappen was charging towards the title.

Aged 25, he is now꧃ a two-time champion but has insisted that his career in F1 may not be as long as Hamilton’s.

The Brit has been punchy with his hopes for 2023 after a career-worst season in 2022, the firs൲t of his career without a single race win. He has vowed to return in♔ a meaningful title fight with his old enemy Verstappen.
