Hamilton now understands Verstappen better: 'That's an interesting process'

For years Hamilton has cried out that he would like to fight more for his world titles, and finally he has got his way. In 2021 it will be Red Bull Racing that really knows how to mount an attack with Verstappen. For Hamilton, that's another sign to pull out all the stops, and more importantly, to get to know his competition better.

Hamilton talks about Verstappen

''Everything is very vague. I don't remember everything from the first half of the season. It was difficult, very difficult for all of us. What I remember is just the pressure between sessions to get the setup right. Understanding which drivers you are racing with is an interesting process. Don't want to say much more about that, but I think I know and understand the guys I race with very well now,'' Hamilton said at Formula1.com.

''The most important thing though is that I'm racing against myself. I'm always trying to get better, and improve how I perform. That's mainly my goal,'' said Hamilton. Lewis was once again in the simulator this weekend. Asked if that will be a new thing of his, he is clear. ''I hope not no. I won't be in it next week'', the Briton concludes.
