Unperturbed by his deliberate nudge into Verstappen at the exit, Hamilton had gone onto vociferously celebrate his win. Least bothered about Verstappen who was in the hospital ensuing the horrendous crash, the Brit was pictured rejoicing in his win as he danced with his home supporters.
Verstappen was quick to call out Hamilton for his antics with Red Bull going onto file a further complaint against Mercedes and Hamilton. Whilst their plea was refuted, Verstappen was quick to make known the angst he held against Mercedes with him talking about how all the team principals barring Toto Wolff had messaged him to enquire about his health.

The crowd in attendance left no stone unturned to express how disgruntled it was with Hamilton for his shenanigans. Hamilton took pole today as he lead Q3 to end ahead of compatriot Valtteri Bottas and Max Verstappen who came third ahead of tomorrow’s race.
A banner reading, “Sir Cheat – karma is on its way” was also spotted in the stands. Meanwhile Hamilton tried to nonchalantly act cool about the whole incident as he was quizzed about it ensuing the qualification race.
Hamilton said: “Honestly, I’ve never actually felt so great with the booing. If anything, it just fuels me so I don’t really mind it.”
