While Lewis Hamilton says dominating races from start to finish feels ‘lonely’, in 2017 Max Verstappen expressed his wish for just this kind of dominance.
There has been a lot of talk recently about Max Verstappen’s complete domination of Formula 1. The Red Bull car right now is so much faster than everybody else, that Verstappen can easily dominate races from start to finish.
When Lewis Hamilton was recently asked about Vestappen’s dominance, he said that being so far ahead of everybody else is “a place where you feel alone”. However, back in 2017 Max expressed his wish for just this kind of dominance.
After the Dutch driver won the 2017 Mexican Grand Prix by controlling the race from start to finish, he said he prefers to do it this way.

“Yes, because this is winning, and I think this is the most beautiful way of doing it,” Verstappen said.
“Of course, overtaking is fun, but in recent years I’ve never been in a position that I could control races.
“But this is what I did in karting, actually, and in the end this is what you want to do. Overtaking is definitely nice, but to me it’s not something that’s necessary.
“Ultimately you want to win races like Hamilton and eventually win a championship,” he concluded.
