For the past two months, the F1 community has been speculating whether or not Hamilton will return to the sport. Now his caption probably suggests that he will be participating in the championship in 2022.
Max Verstappen might not be able to handle Lewis Hamilton for long
Max Verstappen won his first championship title after fighting an intense battle with the seven-time world champion. The Dutchman turned only 24 last year in September but the Red Bull believes that he might retire soon.
Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko believes that if the battle continues to be this intense, Verstappen might retire early on.
The 2021 season was definitely tiresome for both the title contenders with its 22-race calendar. Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko said, “We were all at the limit.”
“And Max also said that he couldn’t stand such an intensity anymore. He still wants to drive for a while, but if that’s the case every year, then it [his career] is limited.”
“And you are also much more susceptible to the flu. Thank God some people only got the coronavirus after Abu Dhabi [team principal Christian Horner amongst them]. That was good timing,” Marko further added.
