Lewis Hamilton was jeered by a section of fans as he reacted to the Mexican Grand Prix.
The Mercedes star enjoyed strong pace all weekend and looked a strong contender to take the win in Mexico City. But the Silver Arrows took a risk on tyre strategy which did not pay off, and he was powerless to prevent pole-sitter Verstappen from cruising to the win.
Owing to the fact his team-mate is Sergio Perez – the home favourite in Mexico – many of those in the grandstands were wearing Red Bull apparel and so were very pleased to see Verstappen win that battle. And some of them made their allegiance even more clear by booing Hamilton as he stepped up for his post-race interview in the stadium section.
