Two of the best drivers of recent years got involved in a declaration fight, because after Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) assured that he had “better teammates” than Max Verstappen, the Dutchman stood up for Checo Pérez.
For a few weeks, Hamilton has thrown some stones at Max Verstappen, as he has complained about Red Bull’s dominance, the improvements to his car and his constant victories, so now he has focused on his teammates.

Hamilton hit against Checo Pérez
In the preview of the Italian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton spoke about his teammates, highlighting all the names that have been with him, but less those of Verstappen, including Sergio Pérez.
“Jenson (Button), Fernando (Alonso), George (Russell), Valtteri… Nico (Rosberg). I have had so many. All of them have been very consistent, and Max has not raced against anyone like that”, commented the Briton.
Max’s reply arrived
After these words, after the Qualy ended, the press asked Verstappen his opinion about Hamilton’s words, and the Dutchman did not hold anything back.
“Maybe I’m jealous of my current success, but I’m not worried at all. You may think that you are gaining something from these statements or that you have to defend something, but to me it really doesn’t matter. It’s hard for them to lose. Obviously that’s the problem when you’ve won for so many years,” he commented.

Despite the strong words he launched, Verstappen was also cautious in saying that Hamilton lacks some ‘humility’, since “you have to be able to be realistic: if you’re not there, you’re not there. You have to know how to appreciate what other teams do. That’s what we did in the years when Mercedes dominated.”
