Vettel names Hamilton as biggest F1 rival

Vettel and Hamilton

Four-time F1 world champion Sebastian Vettel has named seven-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton as the biggest rival in his last 15 years of F1 career, the German ace will be retired from the F1 at the end of season.

During his Ferrari era in 2015 to 2020, Vettel fought with Mercedes speedy Hamilton. Also, there was also some heated rivalry for the 2017 World Title. The duo battled for Pole and race victory in the many Grand Prix’s.

In an interview for F1 official website, he was asked to name who he thought was the biggest opponent of his F1 career. He said: “Lewis, especially when I was at Ferrari. Lewis has always been right up there. Before that, it was probably Fernando Alonso, when he was at Ferrari.”

“Fernando doesn’t need any advice. I’m not sure he’s taking any advice, but he doesn’t need it anyway. He’s been around for so long and seen so much – he’ll be fine,” added Vettel, who also pondered whether a better car would have kept him racing alongside Alonso (41) and Hamilton (37) for longer.

Asked if more aggressive car might have tempted him to extend his Formula 1 career, he said: “I don’t know. Would I be retiring if I had been very competitive over the last three or four years: winning races, fighting for championships – maybe winning another one?

“I might have come to the same decision. Equally, I might not have. It’s impossible to say, but it has crossed my mind.

“Finishing 10th doesn’t give me a buzz because I know how it feels to finish first. If you’ve never finished first, the first time you finish 10th you get a real buzz. But I’m happy that I don’t get a buzz from finishing 10th.”

The German added: “I still love the sport. I still love racing. The decision to retire was a tough one, but I’ve been thinking about it for a while. I know how much commitment this sport requires, and I feel like it’s a good time to do other things.”

Max Verstappen 2022 Formula 1 world champion

Double time F1 world champion Max Verstappen has hinted that he might retire from the Formula 1 at the end of Red Bull’s contract, which will expire in 2028.

The Dutch youngster secured his second world title at the end of chaotic Japanese Grand Prix on last Sunday. It would be the first time since the Sebastian Vettel era in 2013 that Red Bull won the team title, breaking Mercedes’ dominant eight-year streak.

When the news source asked, how long he could continue to dominate, Verstappen said: “It can be a long time but, in the end, I don’t see myself driving until I am 40 because I also want to do other stuff.

“I’m having a lot of fun with what I’m doing right now and I’m still in F1 for a couple more years. I’m signed until ’28.

“After that, it depends on how everything is going. I will probably try to do a few different racing things as well because it’s important to try different things.”

At Suzuka, asked regarding immediate plans to celebrate his second world title success, he added: “I’m flying home.

“I already planned that for whatever would happen at the weekend.

“It’s important to sometimes rest a bit but once I get home, for sure, you can relax a little bit but at the same time, look forward to the remaining races.”

As quoted by the Daily Mail in May, Verstappen said: “I’m not planning on changing teams. I’m happy here and they are happy with me. But I haven’t made up my mind what I will do after 2028. I might stop.

“I have been in Formula 1 since I was 17. It’s been a long time. I’ve done a lot of seasons in F1.

Max’s father Jos Verstappen also indicates he will retire after Red Bull contract.

“I think Max is not only incredibly good, but he also knows what he’s doing,” Jos Verstappen, told the Dutch magazine Formule 1.

“We will take stock again in 2028,” he said. “It’s not like he’s chasing records.”

The former F1 driver Jose also agrees that Max might now be set for a Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher, or Sebastian Vettel style series of F1 titles in a streak.

“It depends on how good the car is,” Jos, his father, explains.

“If Max has a competitive car, he will compete for the world title every time. Because the strength of the driver will then be decisive. Then we are set.”
