Verstappen rejects idea of teaming up with Hamilton at Red Bull, citing incompatibility

Posted : 24 November 2023

Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen addressed rumors of Lewis Hamilton approaching Red Bull, asserting that a partnership "would never work." Red Bull's Christian Horner claimed Hamilton's team inquired about a move, which Hamilton denied, accusing Horner of "stirring things."

 

Verstappen commented that it wouldn't work as they would both strive to beat each other. He emphasized the importance of having rivals in different teams for competition and fan excitement.

 

In an interview before the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Verstappen stated, "It’s also good to have us in different teams." He emphasized the need for competitive rivals to ensure exciting battles, expressing concern that having only one dominant car wouldn't be favorable for fans.

 

While Hamilton had expressed willingness to race alongside Verstappen, Verstappen believes the competitive dynamic is better with each driver in different teams. Despite calls for closer competition, Verstappen acknowledged his focus on winning and his desire for real racing on traditional tracks.

 

Verstappen criticized the recent Las Vegas Grand Prix, describing it as "99% show and 1% sporting event" before the race. He reiterated his preference for real tracks, expressing concern about the sport's focus on outside spectacle rather than the essence of racing.

 

Verstappen urged drivers to communicate with F1 leadership to maintain the authenticity of the sport. He even hinted at potential early retirement if excessive changes were made to the traditional race calendar, emphasizing the importance of preserving the essence of Formula 1 amidst evolving trends.
