Lewis Hamilton couldn't resist a thinly-veiled dig at his 2021 rival Max Verstappen as he reacted to a tight wheel-to-wheel battle with Charles Leclerc at the British Grand Prix.
Hamilton and Verstappen were engaged in a title dogfight throughout last year and, on several occasions, that led to some on-track fireworks. The Brit regularly accused his rival of being overly-aggressive as the season went on.
But it was Verstappen who suffered the heavy crash this time last year, when his Red Bull flew off the track at Copse following contact with the Mercedes and smashed into the barrier in a huge 51g impact. At the same corner this year, Hamilton had another tense tussle – this time with Leclerc.
