Lap 54:
GP: “Well, that’s some gentle introduction.”
MV: “No mate, don’t give me that bulls**t now. You guys gave me this f**king strategy, OK? I’m trying to rescue what’s left. For f**k’s sake.”
Having caught back up on Hamilton after despatching Leclerc, Verstappen wasn’t impressed by the tactics used by Hamilton as the Mercedes driver ran him out wide exiting Turn 2.
Lap 63:
MV: “Should you leave a car’s width?”
GL: “We think you were behind at the apex, Max.”
MV: “OK, whatever, mate.”
Two laps later, the seemingly inevitable collision came as Verstappen and Hamilton barrelled into Turn 1. With Verstappen benefitting from DRS, the Dutch driver appeared slightly caught out by his overspeed as he locked up into the corner – leaving him unable to turn away as Hamilton began turning into the corner on his usual racing line.
This resulted in contact – Hamilton’s right front wheel snagging Verstappen’s left rear. Throwing the Red Bull into the air with a hefty landing, the two cars impressively managed to continue without repercussions for either.
Lap 65:
MV: “He moved under braking.”
GL: “I’m not going to get into a radio fight with the other teams, Max. We’ll let the stewards do their thing. It’s childish on the radio, childish.”
Taking the chequered flag in fifth place, and facing an investigation for the clash that would result in no further action following the steward’s meeting, Verstappen wasn’t impressed when he was told he needed to be checked over by the medical delegate.
Lap 70:
GL: “I understand the medical delegate needs to have a look at you, examine you, under parc ferme conditions when you get out.”
MV: “If they could send the medical delegate up to the stewards, maybe they can have a look if they are all okay.”
