Stefano Domenicali is not so worried about the second crash between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen. According to the CEO of Formula 1, this duel is only good for the sport, and it's part of the game.

Hamilton and Verstappen are in a heated title fight this year, and that's made for action on the track. Where the two left each other alive in the beginning of the season, you now notice that the duels are on the edge. Both are giving nothing away, which has already resulted in crashes at Silverstone and Monza.

A duel of the titans in Formula 1

''With the current duel between Hamilton and Verstappen we are seeing one of the best of all time - and look: old against young. It couldn't be better! This season has been extraordinary. It has shown that a new level of intensity has been reached. The fight is now at the ultimate level,'' said Formula 1's top executive at German Sport Bild.

However, after the crash at Monza there were also concerns. Can these two men still race with each other, or will it really go wrong again soon? Domenicali is not so worried about that though. ''No, I am not worried. If you go to the limit, something like this can happen'', the former Ferrari team boss concludes.
