F1 news: Engineers ‘want Max Verstappen stripped of title and Michael Masi fired’ | F1 | Sport

“I had a very good season and I think I really deserved it.

“I have been really unlucky as well. People always remember the last race but, if you look at the whole season, the championship should have been decided way earlier.”

Verstappen also insisted that he doesn’t feel much sympathy towards Hamilton given he’s won seven F1 titles in the past.

“For me, it’s difficult to picture myself in that situation, because I’m not a seven-time world champion,” he said.

“If I was already a seven-time World Champion, it hurts a bit less than when I am fighting for my first, leading all the way, controlling it all the way, and then losing it on the last lap – that would be way more painful than already having seven in the bag.
