Former F1 driver David Coulthard has described 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton as an “anom🍌aly” when compared to other gr𒆙eats of the sport.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s aggressive driving against Lando Norris during the 2024 F1 season resulted in comparisons to the likes of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna.

Schumacher and Senna were involved in numerous controversial incidents over the years,⛦꧑ earning particular reputations.

However, Co♛ulthard thinks that Hamilton doesn’t fall directly into the same category as Verstappen, Senna and Schumacher for one reason.

Speaking on the The Red Flags podcast, Coulthard said: “That's why Max deserves to ꦬbe in the same category as an Ayrton [Senna], a Michael[Schumacher].

“I say Lewis, but 🐼I put in brackets Lewis because Lewis actually has done it in a very, let's say, uncontroversia𒀰l way.

“I know there was contact with Max, in Max's first champi🧸onship year [2021] at Silverstone, that's about as much on the edge contact I've seen from Lewis. He's a very clean racer, he manages to keep out of a lot of controversy throughout his career so he's this sort of anomaly in that group of the villains that you say.”

Coulthard was then asked if Hamilton’s reputation of being clean is down to Mercedes’ period of domi๊nance whe𝔉re he could afford to take less risks.

He responded: “You’re absolutely spot onꦑ. There was a comfortable period there for Lewis where they had a car advantage and he’s an exceptional driver. It doesn’t diminish the results he had.

“Of course, when he’s gone wheel to wheel with Max, normally Max has come out in front be🐠cause he’s got that absolute fighting spirit.

“We will be debating ꩵthis beyond our lifetimes about the rights and wrongs. It transcends into other sports.”

In terms of Verstappen, Coulthar🐎d believes the Dutchman is pushing the limits just as Senna and Schumacher did in the past.

“Th♕ere's always going to be the ones that are💎 seen as being a little bit on edge,” he explained.

“But 🔥what they've actually done is redefꩵined the modern era of where the line is. Michael did it. Ayrton did it.

“Max is doing it. And that's because every generation should be better. Now൲, better doesn't mean nicer. Better just means, they deliver.”
