Lewis Hamilton has spoken candidly about his rivalry with Max Verstappen in a new interview.
The two biggest stars of Formula 1 have shared the grid for many years now, but it was only in 2021 that their rivalry truly began to ramp up. Within just a few races, it became clear that they were in a class about everyone else in the sport that year.
Between them, Hamilton and Verstappen won all but four races out of 22 that year and contested a tight battle for the championship. Especially later in the season, as the pressure ramped up, there were several on-track flashpoints between them as they gave everything to beat each other.
