Hamilton Warns Piastri and Norris About Verstappen’s Competition
The seven-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton, has shared his perspective on the intense battle for the Formula 1 title, advising Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris on what it takes to face Max Verstappen. Hamilton, who experienced firsthand Verstappen’s fierce competition in 2021, where he lost the championship, knows well what it takes to win at the top of this sport. The fight for this year’s title has taken an unexpected turn. Verstappen, who seemed to be out of the running after the Zandvoort Grand Prix, has managed to significantly reduce the distance. With five races remaining and 141 points at stake before the Mexican Grand Prix, Verstappen has positioned himself as a real threat.
Hamilton emphasized the need to be ruthless, just like Verstappen. “Also, you really have to be ruthless and that’s what Max is. He will take this away from them if they don’t do the same,” said the driver. The Ferrari driver highlighted the importance of consistency to overcome a competitor like Verstappen.The pressure is high. It’s a moment when you have to put in the earplugs and block out everything that comes from the outside. There’s so much coming, positive and negative.
