F1, Max Verstappen goes down flat with Lewis Hamilton

Max Verstappen responds sharply to Lewis Hamilton’s statements

Lewis Hamilton’s statements at the press conference to introduce the Austrian Grand Prix, in which the seven-time world champion called for changes in the regulations to level out performance among the different cars, did not go unnoticed at Red Bull, and it was the Milton Keynes-based stable’s principal standard bearer, Max Verstappen, who responded piquantly.

“I don’t think he ever said these things while he was winning one title after another,” the Dutchman, world champion in 2021 and 2022 and currently leading the 2023 World Championship, told ‘Sky Sports Uk.’ “So I think it’s not appropriate to talk now, because that’s how Formula 1 works.

Verstappen added, “It’s normal for those behind to say these things, but in this specific case I think he would have said more if he had continued to win as he has in past years. F1, like life, can be right or wrong, you simply have to know how to deal with each situation.”
