Red Bull’s Max Verstappen 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:called Hamilton a “stupid idiot” over team r𝓀adio after the two F1 championshi🍌p rivals raced side by side down the main straight during second pr❀actice in the United States two weeks ago. 

Hamilton comments ahead of ♚this weekend’s Mexican Grand Prix appeared to be a thinly-veiled dig at Verstappen in response to the Dutchman’s recent remarks. 

“I think at the core of everything, there has to be respect,” 𓃲Hamilton said when asked how he is avoiding making his title battle with Verstappen personal. 

“When I think about, and I hear the things that come out of drivers’ mouths, ℱI do think about young kids. They are watching us and they are looking to us for inspiration anꦜd for guidance.

“There has been a lot of things that have been said, which is definitely no♎t good for young kids that are watching.&nbs𒐪p;

“For me, I justꦿ trying to remain positive and keep calm, and again, just be respectful to the drivers that I am fighting regardless. 

“If I have a name in my head of what I think they are, I do𒐪n’t share that. But it’s pretty easy for me. You laugh it off, and you move forwa✤rds.”

Verstappe🤪n heads into the final five races of the season holding a 12-point championship lead over Hamilton, wꦓith a 133 points still left up for grabs.

Seven-time world champion Hamilton is eyeing a record eighth world title𝔍, while Verstappen - who is 12 years his junior - is fighting for his maiden F1 championship. 

“I have been here a🅷 long time, I learned a lot in my time,” Hamilton added. “And also, I know, Max has not won a championship in a long, long time.

“So I know what it’s like going ꦆfor your first championship, particularly in the sport, I know the pressures that come with that, and so it’s nothing less than I expected from him.

“He’s still a youngster, and he’s going to be growing a huge amount over the next decade, which I think everyon✃e w✨ill be excited to see. I just try and if I can, lead by example.

“Because as I said, Iꦏ k♔now that I have a lot of youngsters particularly that are racing, that are looking at what I do and what I say. And that’s important for me.”
