Respect 🤝 Lewis Hamilton says Max Verstappen can be “proud” of the “amazing job” he has done during a dominant title-winning F1 season in 2022
Verstappen claimed his second successive world title with four races to spare at last month’s Japanese Grand Prix following a truly dominant 2022 campaign.
The 25-year-old Red Bull driver has romped to the world championship with ease, setting a new record for most wins and points scored in a single season in the process, taking 14 victories from 20 races so far.
The seven-time world champion is yet to win amid a difficult season for Mercedes and was forced to settle for second place behind Verstappen at the last two races in the United States and Mexico City. "He can be proud of the job that he's done," Hamilton added."I know what it feels to be in a position like that.
"He's got a chance to win more races, the next two races, so he could take that record that he's now taken even further if we can't stop him, or Ferrari can't stop him.
