Hamilton not surprised by booing: "There's a lot of orange here"

Verstappen and Hamilton have been booed several times this season. After the race in Brazil there was a lot of booing during the interview of the Dutchman, but especially the seven times World Champion has had to deal with it several times.

However, it doesn't do much for the Brit. He was not surprised when he was booed by fans after qualifying in Abu Dhabi. "There's a lot of orange here, so… Yeah, I think you're always surprised by the boos, no matter how many times you experience it. But I don't care, it doesn't make no difference to me if it was a cheer or if it was a boo."

It doesn't affect Hamilton

Footage around the circuit shows many Dutch fans present this weekend to cheer on Verstappen in the all-deciding race. The booing only gives Hamilton more confidence.

"It makes no difference to how I go about my life, so it doesn't affect me. If anything I use that as fuel so I'm grateful for it, one way or another,"  Hamilton added.
