I think Lewis can feel the pain a little less if you&#8217;re already seven.

Hopefully these new regulations give us that boost and we&#8217;ll have more drivers in each team fighting.

It&#8217;s just not my thing, faking rivalries.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span data-react>Part of the new series, launched last week, focuses on the struggles of McLaren&#8217;s Daniel Ricciardo as he watches his British teammate Lando Norris thrive in a car he can&#8217;t quite keep up with. <\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span data-react>&#8220;Lando and Daniel are two great people that I know, they have really great characters and immediately in the second episode it seems like they&#8217;re not very friendly with each other, and to me that&#8217;s not right and that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m not a part either.&#8221;  of that&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span data-react>Although the series has been widely credited with fueling the popularity of the sport, particularly in the United States, Verstappen believes its approach does not accurately reflect what is unfolding.<\/span><\/p>\n<div >\n<div data-react>\n<div data-react>\n<div ><span data-react> <\/span><button ><svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" data-react><path d=\"M3 16l26 16v-7.2L14.4 16 29 7.2V0\" data-react><\/path><\/svg><\/button><button ><svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" data-react><path d=\"M29 16L3 0v7.2L17.6 16 3 24.8V32\" data-react><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><figcaption ><span data-react> <\/span><span data-react>The front and rear wings of the cars have been changed to smooth out the airflow.<\/span><span data-react> <\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p ><span data-react>&#8220;At a point [it helps to bring in audience] but that effect also wears off.

I need to focus on racing and have private time and not spend another half hour on race weekend when they need to talk to you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span data-react>Verstappen said he was very happy at Red Bull, following the signing of a long-term contract, saying he and the team &#8220;really click&#8221; and share &#8220;the same mentality&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span data-react>But the 20-race winner said he has sympathy for the recently sacked Russian driver Nikita Mazepin, following the termination of his contract and his oligarch father&#8217;s primary sponsorship with the American team Haas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span data-react>&#8220;You always have to feel sympathy for Nikita himself: everyone, regardless of their background, works very hard from a very young age to be a Formula 1 driver. <\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span data-react>&#8220;Of course you can have backup, but you still need talent to drive these cars in Formula 3 and Formula 2.
