Max Verstappen and arch-rival Lewis Hamilton have been at loggerheads since their epic battle in the 2021 season. Verstappen is used to being the aggressor and Monza, 2021, when Lewis Hamilton got Verstappen’s tire marks tattooed on his helmet is a testament to this. But when it came to being on the receiving end, Verstappen didn’t back down after suffering damage in a close call with George Russell. And now, an F1 pundit has advised Verstappen to take a leaf out of Hamilton’s book.

Verstappen, who is known for his never-back-down aggressive driving style, was called out for the same. Anthony Davidson of Sky believes that the double world champion should in fact learn to be smart about such moves as Lewis once was. Davidson states that throwing the car in that situation wasn’t wise, as being in the blazing Red Bull would have given him more chances.

Davidson told Sky Sports as quoted by F1 Maximaal. “When he had to fight against the superior Mercedes car, he took all the risks. He threw the car on the inside, as that was his only chance to win the race. He still seems to do that.'”
