Verstappen enters 2023 aiming for his third consecutive title, but rival Hamilton is vyin🌳g to end his 🌸dominance and claim an all-time record eighth.

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

“I think I alꦑready achieved more than I could ever dream of, so for me I always just try to get the best out of myself,” Verstappen said to . 

“I don’t really think 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🍬 knꦐow I have a contract through to 2028, so I want to try and win more with this team — more races and potentially championships.

“But I’ve never really꧋ been a guy that likes statistics or whatevꦗer. 

“I always want to come out of a race weekend and tell myself that 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 happy.”

Of course, Verstappen’s lack of interest in claiming some of F1’s all-time re💖cords could be vi𓄧ewed 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 remain i🅠n F1 to extend his own staggering numbers.

He has the most wins in F1 history (103🔜), and the most races wꦜith a single constructor (200).

Verstappen does hold the all-time record as th🦋e y💝oungest driver to start a race (17 years and 166 days) and the youngest race winner (18 years, 228 days).
