Australia gave us another glimpse of the Lewis Hamilton v Max Verstappen battle, with roles reversed according to Ted Kravitz 👀 F1
“What’s fascinating to me is,” Kravitz told Sky Sports’ podcast, “we now have a complete flip of the Mercedes Lewis Hamilton seasons from 2014 to 2021, when Hamilton has been going for the championship, knowing he has the fastest car and needed to play it safe.
“Hamilton knows he’s not going to win the championship this year, not unless something really weird happens, so he can go in there and be aggressive with Verstappen, knowing that he is probably going to have to give way.” “It’s why we really want to see Mercedes challenging for the championship with Red Bull,” he added, “because then we can see championship-challenging George Russell against championship-challenging Lewis Hamilton – when they’ve actually got something to go for.“I don’t know this for sure, but I imagine, if I was Lewis Hamilton and I wasn’t in for the championship, I’d be like, ‘well, I’m not going for the championship so if George beats me, I don’t really care’.
