Max Verstappen shares truth behind Lewis Hamilton rivalry

Max Verstappen has refuted any suggestion that he and Lewis Hamilton have a “difficult relationship”, despite the number of incidents between the pair over the years.

“I don’t think we have a difficult relationship at all,” he told the Daily Mail.

“It is quite straightforward. It’s just that with others you have a closer relationship.

“It depends to an extent on how you live your life, and perhaps we are not similar in that regard.

“Of course, we had a big rivalry in 2021 but ultimately we do have a lot of respect for each other.

“He is definitely up there as one of the greatest drivers ever.

“I have no need or desire to deny that. Consistency is his key, and staying on top of his game.

“That is not so hard when you are so talented; it doesn’t take a lot of effort to do that.

“The way he has managed his championships is very impressive. He has stood up when he needed to and made the difference.”
