Never before has Max Verstappen with Red Bull managed to follow Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes so well at the start of this season. In all four of the 2021 Formula 1 Grands Prix, the two top drivers sat side by side at some point in the race, which just shows how fierce the fight is.
The two give each other just enough space, but we have to wait for something to go wrong between the two. Is it not on the track, or next to it, is the expectation of many. Max Verstappen indicates to RacingNews356, among others, that the relationship has not yet suffered from the mutual struggle.
“No, we are still very relaxed with each other”, said Verstappen. “I think that is also clearly visible when we enter a room somewhere together. We get along very well.”
“I think if you respect each other, you should be able to say it to each other when the other has done better. Hamilton and between Mercedes and Red Bull does not consider appropriate.
Let’s not use the word war, but speak of a very competitive fight in the positive sense of the word. Of course we fight hard and Mercedes is doing that too and that is only good for the sport. also please.”
