Now to those who are unaware about the incident of Mercedes’ James Allison, he joked that both teams ‘get on each other’s t*ts’.
“I can’t stress enough what a massive pleasure it is to be able to pick up this trophy today after a championship of such quality and to have the pleasure of fighting like cats and dogs all year with Red Bull,” Allison said as quoted by Express.co.uk. “Brilliant opponents. We get on each other’s t*ts a bit. But that’s how it should be and it was just a fantastic fight. So, yeah, very grateful for that.”
Celebrating at Red Bull’s headquarters in Milton Keynes, he conceded that he did at times ‘hate’ the 36-year-old.

You don’t say a lot but you do relate a lot and you really appreciate the fight,” Verstappen told the BBC at Red Bull’s headquarters in Milton Keynes. “Sometimes we did hate each other, but that’s fine. That’s the competitive spirit of both of us. He is an incredible driver.”
