Hamilton won at Silverstone despite taking a 10-second time penalty after he was judged to have been responsible for Verstappen’s crash on Lap 1 at the high-speed Copse corner.
“I am also still disappointed about the level of celebrations enjoyed in the wake of the accident. The Mercedes team were aware of the gravity of the crash with Max widely reported as having been hospitalized,” Horner said. “It is unimaginable not to inform your driver of the situation, moreover, to protect your driver in case they do not show the necessary restraint in celebrating.”
Horner says Hamilton was reckless under pressure after losing pole position and trailing Verstappen by 33 points heading into the race. “It was brought to my attention through the TV broadcast that Toto was going to see the stewards with information he had tried to email to Michael before they had ruled on a penalty," Horner said."It is a little bit like trying to lobby a jury while they make their final verdict.”
“The narrative that Max was being ‘overly aggressive’ at that stage was unjustified. You only have to look at the fact Max has zero penalty points on his license and has not been found guilty of any on-track misjudgments in recent years,” Horner argued. “The aggressive 17-year-old F1 rookie Max Verstappen that Hamilton is referring to is not the Max Verstappen of today.”
Hamilton is dirty and Horner is always crying
I like Horner but he’s exaggerating to back Max up like any good team boss would do. It was a racing incident and nothing more. They’re both hard headed drivers & neither is gonna give in right now. Max has done much worse. Time to move on.
As he should
