Hamilton issues Verstappen advice after dominant run
Lewis Hamilton encourages Max Verstappen to continue his current performance, praising him as he nears his third consecutive championship. Verstappen has the chance to secure the title in Qatar, possibly during the Sprint race if he finishes in the top six on Saturday. Mercedes has struggled this season with the ground-effect cars, leaving Hamilton unable to challenge Verstappen for wins or the championship. Despite their intense on-track rivalry and off-track controversies, the relationship between the two drivers remains amicable. Hamilton advises Verstappen to keep doing what he’s doing, acknowledging their competitive nature and determination to achieve their goals. Reflecting on his own growth, Hamilton explains how he has evolved from a rookie at 22 to a 38-year-old veteran on the grid, feeling more comfortable in his own skin and knowing his goals off the track.
