Max Verstappen has opened up about his dramatic Formula One world title victory and his bitter feud with rival Lewis Hamilton that it enflamed.The Red Bull driver, who extended his contract until 2028 earlier this week, says he deserves to be champion and insists there's "no reason" to speak to Hamilton, who reportedly considered retirement due to the controversial end to the season.An unprecedented situation unfolded in December as Verstappen and Hamilton went into the final Grand Prix of the year level on points, effectively meaning that whichever driver finished ahead of the other would win the world title.The Brit looked destined to seal a record eight F1 championship victory, and headed into the final few laps with a seemingly uncatchable 11 second lead, but a safety car period allowed Verstappen to make the ground up and he overtook Hamilton on the final lap.
