168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen came under scrutin𒉰y last year for♈ his combative driving style.

Clashes with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell brought criticism to the F1 champion.

However, Verstappen retain๊ed his drivers’ crown despite his Red Bull’s obvious performa♊nce issues - somewhat justifying his feisty antics.

His reꦺlationship - both on💛 and off track - with Norris and Russell is likely to be tested again in the 2025 F1 season.

His old rival Lewis Hamilton could have a say if h😼e is frequently at the front in his new Ferrari.

Our experts debate which driver will feel the brunt of Verstappen’s aggression this season…

Lewis Larkam: “If Verstappen and Hamilton find themselves in title contention this year, I w❀ould expect to see more fireworks between the pair.

“Remember what happened back in 2021 when t🦄hey endured a♒ fierce season-long battle?

“They even managed to dramatically clash in Hungary last season when they weren’t direct rivals.&n🍸bsp;

“Verstappen and Hamilton appear to be a magnet to each other when fighting over the sa🌟me piece of tarmac.

“Ultimately, Verstappen will be aggressive with whichever driver he finds himself battling with for wins and the championship - it's just in the Dutchman's natur⛎e."

Connor McDonagh: “We’ve only seen Verstappen being incredibly aggressive 𝕴when he’s in title contention. So the obvious answer would be Norris.

“However, given their beef at the end of 2024 and the fall-out off-track, any battles between Verstappen and Russe🍸ll are likely going to be the most interesting.

“Russell has shown he’s not afraid to back downജ, making it a tantalising prospect if they go head-to-head.”

Lewis Duncan: “Max Verstappen is hardly going to play nice with anyone if he finds himself in a combat scenario. But the crumbling relationship between himself and George Russell will almost certai❀nly lead to hard moments on-track this year.

"Verstappen has downplayed the fallout somewhat, but these are drivers that have had previous even before last year’s Qatar fallout - remember the Azerbaija🌜n sprint fro💧m 2023?

"If there’s one thing Verstappen has shown repeatedly over the years 🍃is how he likes to prove he is the tougher driver. 

"But Russell especially is likely to be on the receiving end of some hard racing, which Verstappen knows will also rial up Mercedes t𒊎eam boss Toto Wolff - who isn’t exactly the Dutchman’s or Red Bull’s biggest fan."
