The 2022 Formula 1 season, which kicks off on March 20, has many reasons for interest. Even more than the new cars and the performance that teams like Ferrari and McLaren will have, which have focused hard on the overturning of the technical regulations to try to get closer to the top, the maximum attention will be for theAct II of the duel between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton. The last head-to-head between the two dates back to the infamous Abu Dhabi GP, in which the Dutchman was able to take full advantage of the events that occurred in the last five laps, managing to overtake his rival a few corners from the finish and taking home the first title. world champion of his career.
Everyone has been talking about what happened that evening for over two months, but one of the least explicit on the subject was Hamilton himself. In fact, the Mercedes driver, in addition to an understandable bitterness, did not dwell much on the feelings he still feels about that episode. Also with regard to his relationship with Verstappen, the British driver preferred to gloss over, specifying in a recent interview that he had nothing against his Red Bull antagonist. Anthony Davidsonendurance rider and commentator for Sky Sports F1however, is convinced more than ever that in reality the ‘fuel’ that will push the seven-time world champion this year will be precisely his thirst for revenge after the events of Yas Marina.
“There will be nothing Lewis wants more from this season than destroying Max Verstappen – declared the former color bearer of BAR and Super Aguri in F1 – let’s not hide behind a finger, Hamilton feels absolutely ripped off for what happened last year in Abu Dhabi. He wants to hit the track with a dominant car and doesn’t even want to see Max, I’m sure. He is only interested in standing in front of him, disappearing into the distance and winning his eighth world championship “Davidson concluded.
