Verstappen previously hit out at Hamilton and Mercedes for the way they celebrated victory at the British Grand Prix while he was sat in hospital following a 51G shunt after first-lap contact with Hamil🍌ton.

Speaking on Thursday in Abu Dhabi, Verstappen claimed he has been 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“treated differently” to other drivers regarding F1’s racing rules and feels the penalties handed out ♛to him in Jeddah were unfair. 

The Dutchman said he would congratulat💃e Hamilton in the event the Mercedes driver wins a record-breaking eighth title “if everything goes fair”. 

Asked in the later press conference if he would consider sitting down with Hamilton to discuss how th✃ey will go racing before Sunday’s showdown, Verstappen replied: “I don’t think we need to sit dow🌠n. We are both here to win. 

“I will d🔥o of course everything to win and win theꦬ championship, whatever is necessary in terms of points. 

"I think we have raced really well together the whole year and I think we have put on a great show for everyone at the end of the day. So🐈 hopefully we can do that here.”
