Lewis Hamilton ‘not going to give Max Verstappen an ounce of oxygen’ amid F1 success, says Martin Brundle

Speaking in an interview with Sky Italy, Hamilton said he is168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: “no more💟 impressed” by Verstappen than other F1 world champions and feels his su💮ccess has been blown up more than his own purple patch was.
The seven-time world champion also questioned the quality of Verstappen’s Red Bull teammates, claiming that his own - including the likes of🅺 Fernando Alonso, Nico Rosberg and Valtteri Bottas - provided him with a much sterner test.
“Tha🔥t’s Lewis’ opinion and he very firmly put it out there!” Brundle told Sky.&nbܫsp;
“He’s not go🌜ing to give Max an ounce of oxygen, or anything, to pick him up.
“I’m surprised just how hard he was.
“Of cou🌟rse Lewis has had strong teammates but I wouldn’t write off the likes of Daniel Ricciardo and Sergio Perez, who Max has had alongside him.✤ They are world-class racing drivers.
“Lജewis just doesn’t ꧟want to give anything away, does he?”
Fellow Sky pundit Naomi Schiff said: “If ♎you look at Red Bull, and the rate at which they’re changing the driver in the second seat, I think Red Bull almost agree with what Lewis is saying.
“With the exception of Daniel who chose to leave, and Sergio who is under scrutiny. They want him to do more than he’s 🍌doiꦏng.
“I’ll leave it to Lewis to say what he’s 📖g🐬oing to say!”

Verstappen has built up a 138-point lead over teammate Sergio Perez in the standings and could claim a record-breaking 10th successive victory a🎃t this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix.
Brundle believes what Verstappen is achieving should not be ♉downplayed or overlooked.&💯nbsp;
“I gave blood, sweat, tears and total commitment in over 150 grands prix and I onl𓂃y ever finished second or♌ third,” he added.
“I never won. So many drivers are like me, who 🎉put e🐷verything into it.
"To win at the rate Lewis has done, 103 victories, and the rate Max is, and to keep the mental aspect going every wee𒐪k in different tracks and weather conditions, is extraordinary.
“You can’t be anything ot𒐪her than incredibly impressed by what Verstappen is doing.
“How many points has Perez scored in that time?”&n🌼bsp;
