Lewis Hamilton has urged those attending the British Grand Prix not to boo Max Verstappen after the Dutchman was targeted by swathes of unfriendly F1 fans at Silverstone.
A hostile reception was expected for Verstappen this weekend, and that proved to be the case on Thursday when he was targeted while on a track walk. Things got more intense on Saturday, as he was roundly booed moments after climbing out of his car after qualifying.
As he gave an on-track interview to young former racing starlet Billy Monger, the chorus of boos intensified. He later said the noise from the stand behind him had been so loud that he struggled to hear the questions he was asked.
