Red Bull driver Max Verstappen clinched his first Formula One Drivers Championship title in 2021. The Dutchman won the title after an epic duel with Lewis Hamilton whom he overtook in the last lap of the last race in Abu Dhabi to claim his maiden title.

Hamilton shared in the episode “I think Max is aggressive as hell and more often than not, he pushes it to the limit and beyond. I’ve raced against a lot of drivers – there are always bullies but that’s not how I operate. I just try and beat them on the track. Max is do or die. Either you crash or you don’t get past him. I think he pushes it to the limit and beyond.”

He added “I think he pushes people to the limit and probably beyond. I like to think I fight hard and fair. I don’t have a track record of crashing with people.” Hamilton and Verstappen touched wheels during the track on multiple occasions but the crash in Monza and Silverstone made headlines in the F1 community.

Max Verstappen has not shared his opinions as the Dutchman feels the show has over-dramatised the events on track. The Dutchman’s absence from the series won’t be long felt as the two drivers will resume their on-track rivalry on March 18 when the 2022 season begins with the Bahrain Grand Prix.
