In the context of the village of the F1 races, he is moving from the criticisms of Lewis Hamilton after the unexpected results, Max Verstappen – the world champion many times and is also the largest rival of the British driver in recent years – has suddenly spoken strongly to protect Hamilton.
Verstappen’s speech not only shocked the media, but also caused a boom on social networks when millions of fans shared and discussed.
“You can insult, curse Hamilton, but remember that none of you can be equal to him,” said Verstappen fiercely. “And everyone knows that his real cause for his recent failure is not because of Lewis himself, but for his control factors.”

These words have completely changed the tense atmosphere. Previously, Hamilton has undergone many criticisms for his decline, from the loss of pole in the classification to the continu to escape the podium in important breeds. Some ferocious opinions said that Hamilton was out of time, no longer enough to compete with the younger generations. However, Verstappen – who repeatedly compared with Hamilton in the race – made a different perspective: respect and understanding for a living legend.

“Hamilton won the world championship seven times. Nobody can achieve that result without talent, extraordinary energy and sacrifice,” continued Verstappen. “Everyone could criticize it for a temporary result, but history will always recognize it as one of the greatest pilots of all time.”
Verstappen’s declaration was rapidly widespread at a dizzying speed. A series of other pilots, from young stars like Lando Norris to former legends like Jenson Button, expressed their agreement. Many Fanpage and F1 forums have simultaneously praised Verstappen’s actions as “a nice moment of the best sport” when the opponent is ready to put aside the conflict to speak to protect mutual honor.
Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton remained silent for the dispute. But experts believe that Verstappen’s protection will help Hamilton to have more motivation to return to the next race.
This accident not only affirms Hamilton’s “number 1 Racer” in history, but also shows the exceptional maturity of Verstappen-Che is not only a speed sample, but also a symbol of the spirit of fair play in sport.
And if one thing is clear after all, it is: whether to win or lose, Lewis Hamilton will still be an immortal monument of the village of F1.
