Jenson Button believes this season might be Max Verstappen’s ‘last chance’ to beat Lewis Hamilton before the new rules and regulations come into force in F1 for 2022, but admitted it would be an ‘amazing achievement’ going into the new era of F1.
Verstappen and Hamilton have been embroiled in a tantalising battle for the world championship title this season, with the Dutchman leading the standings for the first time in his F1 career.
Hamilton meanwhile is playing catch-up after two poor race results in Monaco and Baku ahead of the French Grand Prix, which saw Mercedes pick up just seven points over the two events, with the Briton’s team-mate Valtteri Bottas struggling this season to finish higher than third.
Hamilton is vying for his eighth world title which would see him overtake Michael Schumacher’s record and catapult him to new levels of F1 royalty.
However, there will be huge changes in F1 in 2022, with a whole new reshaping of the rules and regulations which were unanimously approved by the paddock, to try and make races more competitive and exciting for fans.

“If Lewis wins an eight title, that’s fantastic, and he thoroughly deserves it.
