Hamilton pokes fun at Max: 'Only when you say the F-word, you mean it!'
Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, despite their rivalry, can also have a good laugh with each other, as was evident at the press conference after the British Grand Prix. The Briton joked about the Red Bull driver's rants over the team radio.
Verstappen complained about his tyres during the race and said the car was pulling in one direction. The two-time world champion was asked to what extent those radio messages were serious. "They were not serious, but I like to report these things to the team," the Dutchman told reporters until Hamilton interrupted him: "Did you put the F-word in any of those words?" the Mercedes driver asked. Verstappen started laughing and said, "Actually, no, not this time!"

Then the messages were not serious according to the seven-time world champion: "He is only serious when he puts the F-word in front of it!" laughed the Briton, who then asked Verstappen if he has ever seen a compilation of all his board radios. "Yes, yes, that was in 2020. that was a great year," the Red Bull driver explained with a smile.
