Hamilton ‘never seen faster car’ than RB19

Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton said on Sunday he had never seen a car as quick as Max Verstappen‘s Red Bull.

The Mercedes driver was overtaken by the double world champion as Verstappen was lightning fast from 15th on the grid to second in a Saudi Arabian Grand Prix won by his teammate Sergio Perez.

It was Red Bull’s second one-two in two races this season and the only point they have missed so far was the bonus for fastest lap in Bahrain.

“I’ve definitely never seen a car so fast. When we were fast, we weren’t that fast. That’s the fastest car I think, I’ve seen, especially compared to the rest. I don’t know how or why but he came past me with serious speed.”, Hamilton said.
