Verstappen gives his news and tackles Hamilton

At Red Bull, the incident between their pilot Max Verstappen et Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) really doesn't work. Without beating too much about the bush, Christian Horner, team principal of the British-Austrian team, described the Englishman's maneuver as “desperate” when he was questioned by Channel 4 about the highlight of the Grand Prix.

At the heart of this incident, Max Verstappen ended up in a nearby hospital where he underwent additional examinations to ensure that he was well after such an accident.

Back on his feet, the Dutchman took the opportunity to give his news but also to send a message to his detractors and to Lewis Hamilton.

« I'm happy to be in good shape, he wrote on his networks before continuing. (I am) very disappointed to have me go out like this. The penalty imposed does not help us in any way and does not do justice to the dangerous gesture that Lewis (Hamilton) did on the track.

Seeing the celebrations while I was still in the hospital is disrespectful and unsportsmanlike behavior but we are moving on ».

The reunion between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton is planned for the Hungarian Grand Prix (July 30-August 1). It promises.
