Lewis Hamilton appeared to aim a dig at world champion Max Verstappen after the British Grand Prix, highlighting that his wheel-to-wheel battle against Charles Leclerc on Sunday was more ‘sensible’ than his tussle with the Dutchman last year. During the 2021 race at Silverstone, the 37-year-old collided with Verstappen at high speed as the championship rivals wrestled for the race lead, which caused the Red Bull driver to crash at Copse corner and subsequently exit the race. The Mercedes driver experienced another high-speed battle at Copse corner on Sunday, fighting tooth-and-nail with Leclerc in a duel for the podium. As Hamilton forced an overtake, the Monegasque driver quickly took an outside line around Copse corner to regain position, rather than risking a crash on the inside.
