Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton have met each other in Hungary for the first time since their incident in England. Meanwhile it is known that the penalty Hamilton got back then, ten seconds, remains.

It certainly will be interesting to see how the Brit and Dutchman react on the track after Silverstone. During the press conferences, both men have already spoken at length about the moment. Verstappen disagreed with the penalty and found the party disrespectful afterwards. Hamilton disagrees with him on both counts. Both gentlemen did confirm that they have already spoken to each other over the phone.

First moment Hamilton and Verstappen

Physically, however, they hadn't seen each other yet. Until today. Between the various press conferences Hamilton and Verstappen bumped into each other unintentionally. They didn't get much more than a nod from each other, even though they both did it with a smile.
