Verstappen: "Nothing to prove" by having Hamilton as future F1 team-mate
The prospect of Lewis Hamilton becoming Max Verstappen’s teammate has been discussed after Hamilton revealed that Red Bull boss Christian Horner had contacted him earlier this year, but nothing came of it. Verstappen, however, made it clear that he wasn’t interested in such a discussion, stating that it wouldn’t add anything as it’s not happening. He also expressed that he wouldn’t mind having Hamilton as a teammate, but it doesn’t matter to him because there are many great drivers. Verstappen emphasized that he has nothing to prove and downplayed the idea of an intra-team battle with Hamilton being good for F1 fans, as there will always be excuses. He believes in himself and his abilities and has confidence in his own performance.
