Former F1 driver Martin Brundle says he liked Lewis Hamiton’s comment on Max Verstappen’s team-mates, adds “he was just steaming in with very firm opinion, almost putting it forward as knowledge”.
Ahead of the Italian Grand Prix, and before Max Verstappen became the driver with most consecutive wins in history, Lewis Hamilton pointed out that he has had to contend with much stronger team-mates than Max did.
Upon hearing this, Max accused Lewis of being “jealous” of his success, but former F1 driver Martin Brundle thinks Lewis was just being aggressive.
“I think it’s too dismissive of Max’s team-mates,” Brundle said.
“I hope this is the new Lewis after his new contract because normally he’s a lot more diplomatic about that.

“He was just steaming in with very firm opinion, almost putting it forward as knowledge. I liked it. I hope he keeps doing that.
“He was not going to give Max any oxygen whatsoever at this moment. I think he could have been a little more grand about it, given Max something – because Max is quite extraordinary at the moment.
“The way he’s gelling with the team and car and reeling off these races is something to behold,” the Briton concluded.
