Lewis Hamilton has been urged to swap Mercedes for Red Bull to race in the same car as Max Verstappen to work out who is “the best of all time” by experienced Dutch motorsports driver Tom Coronel.

Formula 1 has been dominated by the pair’s battle on the track in recent times, with the duo providing some unforgettable moments in the sport’s history.
