Lewis Hamilton Responds to Max Verstappen's Radio Incident During Hungarian GP

Lewis Hamilton has commented on the recent radio outbursts of his former rival Max Verstappen during the Hungarian Grand Prix, expressing surprise at the stewards' decision regarding their collision. The incident occurred as both drivers battled for third place in the race, which saw Verstappen venting his frustrations over team strategy and car performance over the radio. Despite the clash, the stewards deemed it a "racing incident," meaning no penalties were issued, although they suggested Hamilton could have taken more action to avoid the collision. Hamilton expressed his astonishment at the stewards' judgment, particularly noting that one car was in control while the other was not during the incident. He pointed out that Verstappen's locked wheels indicated a loss of control, and he felt there was ample space on the track to avoid the collision. The Mercedes driver had anticipated a different outcome from the stewards, given the circumstances of the race. Looking ahead, both Hamilton and Mercedes are focused on upcoming upgrades to their W15 car, which they hope will enhance performance at the Belgian Grand Prix. The team is set to introduce a new front wing, floor, and beam wing, aiming to close the gap with competitors McLaren and Red Bull. Hamilton expressed excitement about the potential impact of these upgrades, especially with rain expected during the race weekend. As the Formula 1 season approaches its summer break, the Belgian Grand Prix will be a crucial opportunity for Hamilton and Mercedes to demonstrate their improvements and competitiveness on the track.
