The British driver shared his thoughts on Max's outbursts in Hungary

Lewis Hamilton was left surprised by Max Verstappen’s behavior during the last Hungarian Grand Prix. The Dutch driver collided with Hamilton and had several angry outbursts over the radio with his team throughout most of the race.

“You have to be a leader and a team player. Always remember that you’re part of a team with many people and should act like a world champion. Not like last weekend,” Hamilton said, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and professionalism.

The seven-time world champion, who is in his final season with Mercedes, also addressed the incident with Verstappen at the Hungaroring.

“We haven’t talked about it. We went to the stewards and that was it. I don’t know if we’ll talk, maybe if there’s time. I don’t think it’s necessary, but maybe he has something to say,” Hamilton added, indicating that while a conversation might not be necessary, he remains open to hearing from Verstappen if he wishes to discuss the incident.

Both driver are well-known for being too close for comfort on numerous times, especially in 2021 season when they were battling for the world title and collided in Italy and Saudi Arabia.
