Damon Hill has made no secret of the fact he isn’t Max Verstappen’s biggest fan. The 1996 world champion previously called the Red Bull driver a “cry baby” and claimed he uses “fear and intimidation” against his rivals. However, Hill had a simple, four-word response to the 27-year-old’s stunning Suzuka lap that secured him pole position at tomorrow’s Japanese Grand Prix.
The four-time world champion, who is usually calm and collected over the team radio, roared in delight when his race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase confirmed that he was on pole. It came as a surprise given how difficult the car has been to drive this season.
