Next, they will confront each other at Jeddah Corniche Circuit for Grand Prx Saudi Arabia.

But it’s been a tumultuous season between the pair, with a heated rivalry threatening to go awry later. a collision in Monza saw Verstappen’s car land on Hamilton’s head.

However, despite their differences on the track, they share a common interest in it.

Both boast luxurious properties, they have great car collections and a mutual love of animals.

FEMALES

For most of the year, Verstappen, who had a fortune of £40m at the age of 24, lived in a £13m penthouse in Monte Carlo, which is believed to be rented.

The Dutch driver’s home is in the same apartment block as Felipe Massa and Daniel Ricciardo.

Not much is known about its size, but Verstappen regularly shares his workouts on his large balcony overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

Hamilton, believed to have around £280m in the bank, also has a Monaco note in the exclusive Fontvieille district.

But he is planning to return to London permanently when work is completed on his stunning £18million six-bedroom mansion.

Back in 2019, Hamilton splashes £32m on a New York apartment in an apartment project partly owned by NFL great Tom Brady and his model wife Gisele Bundchen.

And there’s his Colorado mansion, which 36-year-old Lewis calls his favorite home and where he loves to spend the winter months on a cell phone in the snow riding around in the mountains.

CAR

However, Verstappen was not amused when he announced that he would not do so when asked during a press conference his thoughts on Lewis’ new talent.
