Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton are battling it out for the 2021 F1 world title with five races to go. For Hamilton, that will mean a record eight titles and for Verstappen, a lifelong dream will come true.
Seven titles versus zero titles
Marc Priestley thinks the two drivers will think different and insinuates that people think Verstappen is more driven to take a title. However, the F1 expert thinks there is absolutely no difference in how badly the drivers want the 2021 cup.
Priestley, in a live video on YouTube, says it's one of the best seasons and loves how the battle is going: "They are under a lot of pressure. Lewis would desperately like to take the title, but if he never succeeds again, he's still a seven-time champion."
The difference between Hamilton and Verstappen
That, according to Priestley, is the big difference between the Brit and Verstappen: "If Verstappen never manages to take another title, he will never be an F1 world champion; his lifelong dream."
So, according to the F1 connoisseur, there is a difference in the way they approach this title. "But, that's just not to say that Lewis wants this any less than Max does."
