Max Verstappen’s dad fires jibe at F1 world champion

Max Verstappen's father Jos insists Lewis Hamilton won the Formula One World Championship easily because of his car. “[Hamilton] drives a much faster car and that makes it a bit more convenient if you are able to start from pole every race,” Verstappen said. “The car is very good but regarding race pace, we fall short and then he needs to take risks every race for a podium finish, that is recurring every race. Max was forced to make a number of moves [in Abu Dhabi] for him to be able to get third place. Looking at Hamilton, he starts from pole and then wins the race, you don’t need to take such risks. Then it’s easily said that you are the better driver. For sure he also has a better car.” The Mercedes ace snapped up the fifth Formula one title and only Michael Schumacher has more championship triumph than he does with seven.
