That, combined with what may or may not have been a Verstappen effort to crash into Hamilton last week (I sincerely don’t know I’m still a pretty new fan of the sport) has prompted fans and media alike to wonder if Verstappen might intentionally take out both himself and Hamilton in an effort to win the title via the tiebreaker. Verstappen has won nine races to Hamilton’s eight, which means that if neither scored points, Verstappen would be in line to win the championship. Verstappen’s dad Jos, a former F1 driver, has weighed in that his personal relationship with his son’s rival is “nothing,” which is what I would’ve presumed.Įntering the last race, Verstappen and Hamilton are tied in points but not exactly tied in the championship race. The defending champion said Verstappen doesn’t care about the rules and was “over the limit.” Most of the time, Verstappen is somewhere between insanely aggressive and aggressively insane.

During last week’s race in Saudi Arabia, Hamilton called Verstappen “fucking crazy” when the Red Bull driver caused contact with Hamilton at lightning speeds.
I’m very chilled,” a convincing Verstappen replied. “I think I’m very relaxed about all those things and I really can’t be bothered. Verstappen’s boss, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner, called Hamilton, a 36-year-old seven-time champ, an “amateur.” In the fall, Hamilton concern-trolled Verstappen over whether the now-24-year-old Dutchman was feeling pressure associated with contending for his first title. Verstappen tweeted about how disrespectful it was for Hamilton to celebrate his victory. In July, Hamilton knocked Verstappen out of a race in an incident that earned Hamilton a meaningless 10-second penalty in a grand prix he won anyway. To enrich the experience, Hamilton and Verstappen seem to massively dislike one another. That won’t happen on Sunday, but only because Hamilton and Verstappen should finish in the top two or three.

The best F1 drivers will keep contending deep into the season for championships-in 2008, Hamilton won his first title on the last lap of the last race-but they won’t usually do it in a dead tie, where the whole season could come down to something as minute as one of them finishing 10 th and the other 11 th. The best tennis players will keep meeting at Centre Court at Wimbledon on level footing. The best swimmers will keep reaching medal heats at the Olympics. These are special events, and it feels silly to follow them with a “but.” If there is one, it’s that they’ll keep happening because of competition formats in those sports. Usain Bolt ran plenty against Justin Gatlin or whoever his biggest rival was in a given moment. (Did Tom Brady and Peyton Manning ever really go “head-to-head?” Not exactly.) The Grand Slam tennis tournaments come down to the world No. It’s not uncommon for the two best athletes in a sport to go head-to-head with everything on the line, even if you don’t count matchups of legends in team sports.
