Lewis Hamilton ‘not going to give Max Verstappen an ounce of oxygen’ amid F1 success, says Martin Brundle
Speaking in an interview with Sky Italy, Hamilton said he is168澳洲5最新开奖结果: “no more impressed” by Verstappen than other F1 world champions and feels his success has been blown up more than hiꦑs own purple patch was.
The seven-time world champion also questioned the quality of Verstappen’s 🅘Red Bull teammates, claiming that his own - including the likes൲ of Fernando Alonso, Nico Rosberg and Valtteri Bottas - provided him with a much sterner test.
“That’s Lewis’ opinion and he very firmly pওut💧 it out there!” Brundle told Sky.
“He’s not going to give Max an ounce of oxygen, or anythi🐠ng, to pick him up.
“I’m surprised just how hard he was.
“Of course Lewis has had strong teammates but I wouldn’t write off the likes of Daniel Ricciardo and Sergio Perez, who Max has had al🌜ongside him. ཧThey are world-class racing drivers.
“Lewis just doesn’t wꦺant to give anything away, does he?”
Fellow Sky pundit Naomi Schiff said: “If you look at Rജed Bull, and the rate at which they’re changing the driver in the second seat, I think Red Bull almost agree with what Lewis is saying.
“With the exception of Daniel who chose to leave, and Sergio who is under scrutiny. They want him to do more th🌟an he’s doing.
“I’ll leave it to Le🍃wis to say what he’s going to say!”
Verstappen has builtꦦ up a 138-point lead over teammate Sergio Perez in the standings and could claim a record-breakinꦗg 10th successive victory at this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix.
Brundle b🍬elieves what Verstappen is achieving should not be downplayed or over🔯looked.
“I gave blood, sweat, tears and total commitment in over 150 grands prix a🉐nd I only ꦬever finished second or third,” he added.
“I never won. 🌸So many drivers are like me, who put everything into it.
"To win at the rate Lewis has done, 103 victories, and the rate Max is, and to keep the mental aspect going every week in different tracks and weather conditions, is extr📖aordinary.
“You can’t be anything ot🌺her than incredibly impressed by what Verstappen is doing.
“How many points has Perez scored in that ✱time?” 💧;
