“I think [it’s] very likely [that Hamilton and Verstappen will crash again], to be honest,” Wurz told Sky Sports News. “Both have to mark their territory. That’s sport, if you watch boxing, football, handball, whatever there is–when two greats are coming together, those things happen.”

“Outside the car, I talk to both [Hamilton and Verstappen] and they talk to each other, and they have great respect for each other, which is really nice to see,” he added. “But on the other side, on the track it’s, ‘hey, we are here to fight, we are here to win the Formula 1 world championship.’ It’s one of the most prestigious titles you can have in the world of sport.

“They have to fight, it’s part of the game. Hopefully with the respect, they need for their own team and their own results, and not only for each other, because to finish first you have to finish, so they can’t afford too many crashes.”
