Max Verstappen could move on from Lewis Hamilton and replace his arch rival with his former Mercedes team-mate, according to an ex-F1 racer.
Verstappen and Hamilton's rivalry has been a fierce one over the years, with the pair's 2021 championship battle going down to the final lap of the final race of the season.
The Dutchman stopped Hamilton from claiming a record-breaking eighth world championship in controversial circumstances, and has since gone on to add three more to his collection, while Hamilton has been out of championship contention with Mercedes and now Ferrari.
Hamilton's inability to challenge for another title since then has led to a mellowing of his and Verstappen's rivalry, with the pair seemingly holding a mutual respect for one another's achievements, and Verstappen has focused on other targets instead.
Verstappen could replace Hamilton with a new rival.
