Max Verstappen Backs Lewis Hamilton: “He’ll Never Lose It”

Four-time world champion Max Verstappen has offered a strong defense of his rival Lewis Hamilton, insisting the seven-time world champion still has the skills and determination to excel in Formula 1 despite recent struggles.


Hamilton’s Challenges with Mercedes

Hamilton has faced a tough 2024 season, hindered by the challenges of the Mercedes W15. His performance in qualifying has been eclipsed by teammate George Russell, with a 17-5 record in Russell’s favor. However, Verstappen believes Hamilton’s difficulties stem more from the car than any decline in his abilities.

Verstappen:
“It has been tough for him to get motivated fully this year because he knows he is leaving the team. As soon as he had a competitive car, you could see he really stepped up. There were some races where the car was difficult, and he was like, ‘whatever.’ I don’t think he will ever lose it. He has achieved so much.”

Despite the challenges, Hamilton has managed to secure two Grand Prix wins in 2024, proving his resilience and adaptability in a challenging car.


The Ferrari Challenge Awaits

Hamilton’s impending move to Ferrari for the 2025 season has added intrigue to his future. The move marks a significant shift for the Brit, as he seeks his elusive eighth world title with the Italian team.

Verstappen acknowledged the magnitude of this challenge, emphasizing that much will depend on the competitiveness of Ferrari’s car.

Verstappen:
“It is a new challenge for him next year. He will be very, very motivated to show he is a seven-time world champion. But it will depend on the material he has got.”

Hamilton will pair with Charles Leclerc, one of the most talented drivers on the modern grid. The partnership is expected to push both drivers to their limits while fueling Ferrari’s ambitions to return to championship glory.


Hamilton’s Legacy and 2025 Expectations

The 39-year-old Brit’s move to Ferrari comes with immense expectations. Known for his relentless drive and adaptability, Hamilton faces the challenge of adjusting to a new team environment while competing against his highly rated teammate.

The Tifosi will undoubtedly rally behind Hamilton, anticipating that he can bring the success they have craved for over a decade. Verstappen’s support underscores the respect Hamilton commands among his peers, even amid struggles.


What Lies Ahead?

The 2025 season promises to be one of the most fascinating campaigns in recent memory. Fans will watch closely as Hamilton navigates his Ferrari debut, battling against Verstappen, Leclerc, and a fiercely competitive field.

For now, Verstappen’s words stand as a testament to Hamilton’s enduring greatness: a driver who, even at 39, remains one of the best on the grid.
