McLaren team principal Andrea Stella recently came out and said that Max Verstappen was able to "do" what he did to Lando Norris at the Austrian Grand Prix because he got away with all his dirty tricks in 2021...
If anyone, Lewis Hamilton knows what it's like to have a bloody battle with Verstappen. He was asked about this before the British Grand Prix, when asked how he experienced the fierce clash between Norris and the Dutchman!?
"To be honest, not at all. I was busy with my own race, enjoying our victory. No matter how much you try to get me to say what I would advise Lando against Max, he doesn't need my guidance. I don't think I should say anything. They've been racing against each other for many years, they know what to do. I have nothing to do with how it's arranged. And I just don't agree with Andrea Stella. Max Verstappen doesn't race like this because he was allowed to in 2021. That's just the way he is," Lewis Hamilton assessed the situation.
