Rosberg gives Verstappen a sarcastic remark and defends Hamilton
Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen collided again in Hungary. Verstappen was charging towards the Brit on fresher tires, but misjudged turn one and locked both of his front tyres. This caused his Red Bull to continue straight whilst Hamilton aimed for the corner, sending the rear of Verstappen's car into the air. 2016 world champion Nico Rosberg gave his view on the incident.
Rosberg's sarcastic remark to Verstappen
Speaking on Sky Sports F1 after Sunday's dramatic Hungarian Grand Prix, Hamilton's former teammate Nico Rosberg gave his thoughts on Hamilton's incident with Verstappen. "I am assuming Max hasn’t seen it yet on TV,” Rosberg said on Sky Sports before the stewards’ verdict was announced.
“Otherwise someone needs to tell him there is a corner, which is why Lewis was turning in! Lewis was taking the corner. I am pretty sure he’ll get a penalty of 5 or 10 seconds and drop behind Sainz.”
Despite Rosberg's confidence in a penalty coming the Ducthman's way, Verstappen escaped without a penalty and kept his P5 finish. Hamilton finished the race third, his 200th podium in Formula 1.
