The red light on GP of Mexico City it’s still on, but the back and forth between the two main rivals in this world championship show no signs of diminishing, on the contrary. Already in the days preceding the current weekend, Lewis Hamilton he had made some statements about the differences between him and Max Verstappen, in particular as regards the experience and the victories obtained in their respective careers. Specifically, the British Mercedes, during the press conference to present the Mexican event, stressed the importance of an element such as pressure management in the decisive moment of the season, thus specifying his concept: “I’ve been here for a long time – commented – and I know that Max hasn’t won a championship in a long, long time. So, I know what it means to be next to your first title, particularly in this sport, and I know the pressures that are felt. Plus, he’s still young and will grow tremendously over the next ten years, which I think everyone will be thrilled to see ”.
A statement that did not go unnoticed by the 24-year-old from Red Bull, who thus replied to the English again during the press conference: “I like what I do – he replied Mad Max – serves to relieve pressure. It is not the first time that I am fighting for the conquest of a championship. Sure, it is in F1, but not in my life. The desire to win is always the same, and I will strive to bring home the result as I have done in the past. As I said before, if the car allows me to be successful, I will win, otherwise I will not succeed ”.
In any case, the current leader of the standings will take to the track at the Hermanos Rodriguez racetrack not only with 12 points ahead of Hamilton, but also with the underdogs for what could be his ninth statement in this 2021, thanks to the technical characteristics of the Red Bull and Honda power unit more compatible with those of the track: “As I said – he added – it’s all about the details. You may look like a favorite on paper, but you still have to get the set up and all the combinations around it right. It might seem simple for us, but we need to be focused from the first free practice session to be able to take the right direction in terms of the car’s potential ”.
