Former F1 world champion Jenson Button believes Charles Leclerc has much better relationship with Max Verstappen than Lewis Hamilton given their history in junior formulae..

“It’s great to have these two fighting for a championship. They’ve known each other for years, they raced against each other in karting and had lots of incidents together then. I think Charles [Leclerc] understands Max [Verstappen], a lot more than maybe Lewis [Hamilton] did.”
