“She is a woman, what she knows at F1 and she wants to fart her … Farm her …” Lewis Hamilton defended Max Verstappen after the insulting criticisms of Norris’ woman. In F1, no prejudices, it is a circuit, not a place of cowardice. “Hide just behind your wife, let her get her … a disgusting world. Verstappen was moved by Hamilton’s words. He responded sincerely with five words that made everyone laugh at Norris’ ridiculous actions … haha
The Paddock of Formula 1 experienced a new day of tension and emotion when insulting remarks circulated about Max Verstappen, held – according to several witnesses – by the woman of Lando Norris. The incident would have taken place after the qualifications of the Japan Grand Prix, where Norris, frustrated by his performance, would have let his anger burst behind the scenes. His partner, present by his side, would have spoken words deemed sexist and contemptuous towards Verstappen, immediately triggering a wave of indignation in the world of motorsport.
According to several sources close to the paddock, the sentence “it’s a woman, what she knows at F1 …” was heard by journalists and members of the Red Bull team. Social networks quickly ignited, accusing the Norris couple of arrogance and disrespect. It was then that Lewis Hamilton, yet often disagreeing with Verstappen on the track, intervened publicly to defense.
During an interview after the race, Hamilton said firmly: “In Formula 1, there is no room for prejudices or lack of respect. It is an elite sport, not a scene for ego or cowardice. Insulting someone through his wife, it is simply shameful.” These strong words were immediately taken up by all the media. Many welcomed the seven -time world champion for his courageous position, especially in favor of a pilot often considered his most formidable rival.
Max Verstappen, visibly moved by Hamilton’s gesture, responded during the press conference with a sincere smile. Asked about the words of Norris and the defense of his British opponent, he simply dropped five words:“Thank you brother, you understood.”A simple, spontaneous response, but which burst the whole room with laughing, including the journalists present.
This unexpected scene instantly relaxed the atmosphere and demonstrated that, despite the fierce rivalries on the track, there is still a form of mutual respect between the great champions. The two pilots, often opposed during the previous seasons, exchanged a frank handshake before leaving the room, to the applause of the public.
On the side of Lando Norris, silence remained total for several hours, before a press release from his team was published, evoking “a misunderstanding” and presenting official apology in Verstappen and the F1 community. But for many fans, evil was already done.
On social networks, the hashtag#RespectF1Quickly climbed into global trends, accompanied by thousands of messages welcoming unexpected solidarity between Hamilton and Verstappen. Some have even commented that “this moment will remain in history like that when two rivals have become allies to defend the honor of sport”.
