Verstappen enters 2023 aiming for his third consecutive title, bu❀t rival Hamilton is vying to end his dominance 🍬and claim an all-time record eighth.

Hamilton and Schumacher share the joint-record most championships (seven) which would take Verstappen, aged 25, at least another five yea𝓰rs to equal.

“I think I already achieved more than I could ever dream of, so f♊or me I always just 🅘try to get the best out of myself,” Verstappen said to . 

“I don’t really 🅘t🌌hink about where I am between all of the all-time greats in terms of championships or wins. I just want to do my job. 

“I of course know I have a contract through to 2028, so🐬 I want to try andꦅ win more with this team — more races and potentially championships.

“But I’ve never really been a guy that li🅠kes statistics or whatever. 

“I always want to come out of a race we🎉ekend and tell myself t﷽hat I gave it all and that I really extracted everything out of myself, because then I’m happy. 

“Then also once you stop racing, if I can look back🀅 at my years in Formula 1 and say, ‘Did I really get everything out of it?’ and if I did and I can say ‘Yes’ to myself, then I’m hap🍸py.”

Of course, Verstappen’s lack of interest in claiming some of F1’s all-🙈time reꦰcords could be viewed as a dismissal of Hamilton’s legacy.

Hamilton has usurped many of the records previously held by the legendary Schumacher and, with a new contract expected to be signed, will re🔯main in F1 to extend his own staggering numbers.

He has the most wi🦄ns in F1 history (103), and the 🅺most races with a single constructor (200).

Verstappen does hold the all-time record as the youngest driver to start a race (17 years and 166 days) and the youngest 🙈race winner (18 years, 228 days).
