Lewis Hamilton offered some advice to Max Verstappen following the Dutch driver’s outburst on the radio during the Hungarian GP. Verstappen and Hamilton are fierce rivals in Formula 1, with Verstappen experiencing a successful season so far. However, Hamilton believes that Verstappen should not only be a member of the Red Bull team but also take on the role of a team leader. Hamilton emphasized that Verstappen should remember that he is part of a larger team and act like a world champion.
Verstappen had a difficult race at the Hungaroring, with a poor strategy and a collision with Hamilton contributing to his disappointing result. When asked about what it means to “act like a world champion,” Hamilton responded that Verstappen’s behavior at the Hungarian GP did not reflect that. Hamilton also mentioned that Verstappen has agreed to stop participating in late-night sim races before Grand Prix events, indicating a willingness to make changes at Red Bull.
Hamilton seems willing to share his experiences and advice with Verstappen, as he knows how to remain calm in challenging situations. However, it remains to be seen if Verstappen will be open to receiving these comments from his rival.
