During the recent Grand Prix of Hungary on the Hungaroring, the tension between the Giants of Formula 1 Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen were inflamed again. A bold action of capture of Verstappen on Hamilton in Bend Four has caused a heated clash, both on and next to the track. Hamilton, who was forced during the off -track accident, expressed fierce criticism of Verstappen and defined his “dangerous” driving behavior and the Dutch “a madman” himself. He invited the FIA to take appropriate measures against Verstappen due to his aggressive maneuver.

The incident a bend oven

During the round 30 of the Hungary Grand Prix, Verstappen tried to recover the freeter tires, Hamilton inside curve four. Hamilton, who was driving for Ferrari at that moment, was surprised by Verstappen’s speed and had to move outside the track to avoid a collision. Although there was no contact between the two cars, the accident was noticed by the administrators for further investigations. Hamilton did not comment on the ON -Board radio during the race, but later he expressed his frustration and insisted on a punishment for Verstappen.

The FIA investigated the accident after the race and invited both drivers to make their side of the story. Quite surprisingly, Hamilton did not appear in the hearing, while Verstappen was present to explain. According to Verstappen, he had full control of his car and could have offered Hamilton enough space, but Hamilton chose to leave the track. The stewards at the end concluded that there was no contact and that Hamilton himself decided to leave the job, so that a punishment was not imposed on Verstappen.

The fierce accusation of Hamilton

After the race, Hamilton expressed his dissatisfaction in the media. He described Verstapens as “reckless” and defined the Dutch “a madman” who jeopardized the safety of other drivers. Hamilton stressed that the FIA had to send a clear message by punishing Verstappen for what he considered irresponsible driving behavior. These hard words caused a lot of confusion in the world of Formula 1 and on social media, where fans replied divided. Some supported Hamilton’s request for a more rigorous approach, while others believed that he was neglecting and that the accident was a normal running accident.

ACCOUNT REASON OF VERSTAPENS

Max Verstappen, known for his direct and fearless attitude, did not leave the accusations of Hamilton unanswered. In an interview after the race, he replied with a hard statement to eight words:“He was shocked, not me, let him speak.”These words strike like a bomb and forced Hamilton to moderate his tone. Verstappen stressed that he had not seen any reason for a punishment and which he considered the accident as a normal part of the races. “I don’t understand why we had to go to the administrators. I put my car next to it, she was shocked and left the track. It’s everything,” said Verstappen in viaplay. His indifferent attitude and his safe reaction impressed fans and analysts, who praised the Dutchman for his cold and serious.

Comments and consequences

Verstappen’s declaration seemed to force Hamilton to a more modest response. In a subsequent explanation, Hamilton indicated that he was trying to avoid a collision and not having experienced the accident as dangerous, a clear softening of his previous difficult words. This was seen by some as a sign that Hamilton stopped back after Verstappen’s brilliant response.

On social media, fans expressed their surprise for the fact that the FIA investigated the accident, since there was no contact between the cars. A user x wrote: “They didn’t even touch themselves, why this drama?” Another fan noticed: “Max did what he has always done and the week of Hamilton. Nothing bad.” The division between the fans reflects the intense rivalry between the two pilots, who have already fought a controversial battle for the World Championship in 2021.

The FIA in the end established that no further actions were needed, a decision that was seen by many as rightly given the lack of contact and the declarations of both teams. Ferrari confirmed that Hamilton himself chose to get off the track and the stewards described Verstapens’ action as “ambitious” but not punishable.

Yet the accident further fueled the rivalry between Hamilton and Verstappen. Both drivers had a disappointing weekend in Hungary, with Verstappen who concluded Nono and Hamilton who have not scored points and ended the twelfth. The Grand Prix was dominated by McLaren, with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri who claimed the first and second place.

The accident between Hamilton and Verstappen during the Grand Prix Hungary shows that the tension between these two champions is still alive and kicked. The accusation of Hamilton according to which Verstappen is “a madman” and his appeal to a punishment was expertly parade by the acute and sure reaction of Verstappen. The FIA decision not to distribute a punishment seems to restore peace for the moment, but with the intense rivalry between these two pilots is only a matter of time before the next comparison is presented. The world of Formula 1 is looking forward to how this battle will develop after the summer break.
