Verstappen on Hamilton: Sometimes he hates the other person and doesn't believe Abu Dhabi is his farewell match

Verstappen admits to hating Hamilton at some point in the 2021 season

In the 2021 F1 season, the confrontation between Verstappen and Hamilton was arguably the most intense in history, until the last lap of the final leg, both had a chance to become world champions, and in the end Verstappen grabbed the title.

In an interview with the US media, Verstappen reviewed the 2021 season with Hamilton.

"Sometimes we hate each other and itch our teeth, but it's all too common because we both have a competitive spirit." This also explains why the two have collided many times on the track. "The end result was good, of course there were some special things that happened between us. Whether it is Silverstone, Monza or the collision of the penultimate saudi arabia, it is a wonderful showdown. ”

In response to rumors that Hamilton would not return at the end of the season, Verstappen said "I've always respected him" but couldn't imagine anything like that could actually happen.

Verstappen believes that under normal circumstances Hamilton would continue his F1 career, he just can't accept losing the world title in a way that was unexpected, and even if he is very frustrated, Hamilton still congratulates himself on winning the championship after the game.

Hamilton disappeared from the public eye in large part because the rumors on the Internet were exaggerated and did not want them to affect his and his family's vacation.

In any case, Verstappen believes that the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix for the 2021 season will not be Hamilton's farewell battle.
