"It shows he doesn't really know me": Verstappen shrugs off Hamilton's pressure speculation over title race
CNN
Max Verstappen has shunned Lewis Hamilton's suggestion that he might be feeling the pressure of a title fight.
The pair arrive in Sochi for the Russian Grand Prix this weekend separated by just five points, with Verstappen maintaining a slender lead over the seven-time World Championship winner following their dramatic collision in Italy last time out.
Upon landing in Sochi, Hamilton was asked if he believed Verstappen was feeling the heat of their title rivalry, which had simmered long before the crash at Monza.

One year ago this week, Joe Biden was president. I was in Doha, Qatar, negotiating with Israel and Hamas to finalize a ceasefire and hostage release deal. The incoming Trump team worked closely with us, a rare display of nonpartisanship to free hostages and end a war. It feels like a decade ago. A lot can happen in a year, as 2025 has shown.
