Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen are arguably the two greatest drivers on the grid with a combined 9 titles and 148 wins in total. The Dutchman is compared to the 7x champion in almost every aspect. This means not only the on-track comparison but also the off-track comparison. Similarly, Lewis Hamilton’s recent adventure led to a surprising comparison just hours after Max Verstappen’s $3 million excursion. What was the comparison?

While Lewis Hamilton is a model, producer, entrepreneur, rapper, and whatnot off-track, Max Verstappen has his own e-sports racing team. This comparison was recently extended when Lewis Hamilton took the newly launched Mercedes AMG GT out for a spin. However, just hours after, Max Verstappen took his $3 Million hypercar out for a ride around the famous streets of Monaco. Yes, we’re talking about the Aston Martin Valkyrie.

Surprisingly, just a couple of hours after Max Verstappen’s video of driving the 1140 HP Adrian Newey-designed hypercar came out, Lewis Hamilton uploaded a post on Instagram where he can be seen driving a dirt bike around while wearing red shorts and a white tank top. The caption for the post was “Cheers to this time offline, talk soon~.” 

However, Hamilton’s attire while riding the dirt bike led to a striking comparison as fans bombarded the comments section. But what was the comparison about, and who was Hamilton compared to? Let’s find out.
