Nelson Piquet feels that Max Verstappen’s aggressive driving style would overcome Lewis Hamilton in the same machinery.
Nelson Piquet also reflected on his championship-winning season, during which he also had the best car in the field by a considerable margin.
Lewis Hamilton has won several challenging Grands Prix in his career. Last season the Brit became a seven-time world champion after a sublime drive in treacherous conditions in Turkey. He also won in Silverstone after keeping Max Verstappen behind on the last lap with three tires on his car.

This raises the question: what will it take for Lewis Hamilton to get the respect he undoubtedly deserves?
