Having had a long time away from the sport to digest the facts, Lewis Hamilton has nothing against Verstappen and feels he did what any driver in that position would do. The seven-time world champion said:
The Briton was on the precipice of winning a record-breaking eighth world championship with a handful of laps to go at the Yas Marina Circuit. A late crash by Nicholas Latifi brought the safety car out and allowed Verstappen to pit for fresher, soft tires.
The move turned out to be pivotal for the Dutchman when Michael Masi bent the rules to essentially set up a one-lap dash between the two title protagonists.
The 37-year-old went on to add, saying:
Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes focused on ultimate goal of winning championships in 2022
Lewis Hamilton has confirmed that he and Mercedes have their sights set firmly on the world championships in the 2022 F1 season.
Speaking during the unveiling of the new Mercedes W13, the Briton was asked about his goals for the upcoming campaign. Hamilton said:
Hamilton was also incredibly proud of all the hard work Mercedes had put in and was pleased to see them still focused and hungry to win more.
