World champion of formula one Lewis Hamilton was reported saying that Max Verstappen lacked respect while trying to force his way past him on Sunday when they were at the Grand Prix, Bahrain. The Briton, who was seen speaking glowingly for a 20 – year old he sees a future hero, vented his feelings as he made use of some strong language when he finished with his third at the floodlit sakhir circuit.
The Mercedes our time’s world champion was reported saying, “there needs to be certain respect between drivers. Maybe I need to go and watch the maneuver again, but it did not feel like a respectful maneuver.”
Verstappen had now begun with the 15th in his red bull when he chased in the qualifying rounds held on Saturday and then dived down inside of Lewis Hamilton into the first very corner at the start of lap two in such a way that it seized to 10th.
The young driver took a wider line at the exit in what looked like a clear attempt to head off any counter attack from the side of Hamilton when the left tire of Dutchman made contact with the front wing of his very own rival. Hamilton’s vehicle was out of the scene without a scratch, but the collision did puncture the type of the young boy that damaged the gearbox of his vehicle, and he was retired from the race eventually.
“If you look at it, I was ahead for quite a period, then I accepted defeat, and I just backed out because I knew he was going to try and run me wide. But, then he just kept going. He did not need to keep going, because I already backed out,” Hamilton said.
