Verstappen: "Nothing to prove" by having Hamilton as future F1 team-mate
The possibility of Lewis Hamilton becoming Max Verstappen’s teammate at Red Bull has been a topic of conversation, but Verstappen has made it clear that he’s not interested in discussing it, stating that it’s not happening and there’s no point in making up stories about it. He mentioned that he wouldn’t mind having any great driver as his teammate and that sometimes things just don’t work out that way. Verstappen emphasized that the idea doesn’t interest him at all and that he doesn’t need to prove anything. He believes in himself and his abilities, and if he didn’t have that self-confidence, he would quit. He also downplayed the idea of an intra-team battle with Hamilton being good for F1 fans, as there will always be excuses and stories created.
