Max Verstappen will never topple rival Lewis Hamilton and become the GOAT of Formula One, Express Sport readers have insisted. Verstappen\u2019s incredible run of 10 Grand Prix victories in a row recently ended, but even that period of dominance is seemingly not enough to convince fans that he is better than Hamilton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Dutchman enjoyed an incredible battle with Mercedes ace Hamilton in 2021. He pipped the Briton to the world title in the final lap of the very last race on the calendar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And the rivalry has endured ever since, with Verstappen and Red Bull dominating the sport. Hamilton has not won a race since the season in which he fought Verstappen for the world title, falling behind due to a loss of form and frustrating technical problems.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, F1 fans overwhelmingly believe Hamilton is still the F1 GOAT – meaning the greatest of all-time. In a poll of 8,250 Express Sport readers, 49 per-cent backed the seven-time world champion over the likes of Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna, Sebastian Vettel and Alain Prost.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A huge 64 per-cent say Verstappen will never become the F1 GOAT.\u00a0<\/p>\n Red Bull star Verstappen insisted on Thursday that anyone playing down his achievements over the last two years are not proper fans of the sport. \u201cHonestly, I have zero interest in that,\u201d the two-time world champion said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive F1 news<\/strong><\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

I don\u2019t think it\u2019s necessarily bad what was happening to Formula One because we were just better than everyone else.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd if people can\u2019t appreciate that, then you\u2019re not a real fan. But that\u2019s how it goes. That\u2019s why I was also super relaxed about it because we didn\u2019t perform [at the Singapore Grand Prix] and other people did a better job than us.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThen, of course, they deserved to win. They shouldn\u2019t win because people say it\u2019s boring that we are winning.\u201d<\/p>\n
