Max Verstappen quickly extinguished those hopes though as he flexed his muscles in the second half of the season to take back-to-back titles. Many hoped that 2023 would bring a closer battle, but things have gone the other way.<\/p>\n<p>Verstappen has won 17 of the 20 Grands Prix to take place so far this season with Red Bull winning every single race bar one, the only outlier being a victory for Ferrari\u2019s Carlos Sainz in Singapore. This has led to some criticism from Hamilton, among other figures in the paddock.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to the Eff Won with DRS podcast, Horner explained: \u201cI feel like he\u2019s got selective memory. So you know, some of the winning that they did in that period was just obscene. We\u2019ve had a good run for a couple of years, but the one guy that shouldn\u2019t be saying that I would think, is Lewis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive F1 news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Sergio Perez tactic to save Red Bull gig as Christian Horner outlines &#8216;boost'[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Horner\u2019s comments are backed up by the opinion that Hamilton\u2019s criticism of Red Bull\u2019s domination is hypocritical, given the 38-year-old won six of his seven Drivers\u2019 Championship titles in dominant machinery during Mercedes\u2019 dominant era between 2014 and 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Since the legendary 2021 fight, the pendulum has swung the way of Red Bull. Hamilton has routinely called on the FIA to intervene in their dominance, claiming that having the same team winning every week will be bad for the fans\u2019 enjoyment of the sport.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> More F1&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Max Verstappen shares what could make him quit F1 in retirement threat to bosses[VERSTAPPEN] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc snubbed as Red Bull fear Lando Norris threat[RED BULL] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Ferrari &#8216;face Leclerc battle&#8217; as details emerge on private chat with entourage[FERRARI] <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/73\/590x\/secondary\/Christian-Horner-Red-Bull-5056883.jpg?r=1699525575282\"><\/p>\n<p>Discussing the changes F1 needs to make, Hamilton said: \u201cI think, within our sport, we have to continue to work on making sure we\u2019re having close racing because I think you\u2019ve seen the social engagement drop a huge amount this year being that. It\u2019s obviously heavily impacted on competition.
