ABU DHABI - Max Verstappen said his opinion of Lewis Hamilton and the Mercedes team has gone down during their championship fight in 2021.
Verstappen and Hamilton have collided on track three times this season and go into the final race of the year, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, level on points. Verstappen will win in the event of a tie due to having one more win this season.
Those collisions have been controversial, the first of them at the British Grand Prix really changed the tone of the title fight.
Verstappen was sent into a heavy crash with the barriers after colliding with Hamilton as they battled for the lead on the opening lap.
