Lewis Hamilton says Max Verstappen “pushes it to the limit and beyond”, but that’s not how Lewis ‘operates’, choosing instead to beat he “bullies” on the track.
In Netflix’s season four of ‘Drive to Survive’, in an episode focusing on the 2021 British Grand Prix, which featured the infamous collision between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, Lewis gives his opinion on his rival’s driving style.
“I think Max is aggressive as hell,” Hamilton said.
“And more often than not, he pushes it to the limit and beyond. I’ve raced against a lot of drivers. There is always bullies, but that’s not how I operate.
“I just try and beat them on track.”
This is in line with what Lewis said previously on multiple occasions, for example ahead of the final race of the 2021 season in Abu Dhabi.

“I’ve raced a lot of drivers in 28 years,” Hamilton said at the time.
“I’ve come across a lot of different characters and there’s a few at the top which are kind of over the limit.
“The rules kind of don’t apply, they don’t think of the rules. He’s over the limit, for sure.
“I’ve avoided collision on so many occasions with the guy and I don’t always mind being the one that does that, because you live to fight another day,” he concluded.
Season four of ‘Drive to Survive’ is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on 11 March 2022.
