Max Verstappen thinks 'jealousy' could be the trigger for Lewis Hamilton suggesting he has not faced as big a challenge from team-mates in Formula 1 as the seven-time champion.
Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing RB19Verstappen senses that the nature of the criticisms being pointed in Red Bull’s direction were evidence of Mercedes not having an easy time accepting it is no longer on top in F1.
"But, at the end of the day, you have to be realistic as well. If it's not possible [to win], then it's not possible. You have to be able to appreciate what other teams are doing as well. We did that in the years when Mercedes dominated. "You can keep saying that the things we are achieving at the moment are not that special, or at least that is probably what they think, but in the end, you just have to focus on yourself because that is the only thing you can influence."
