Formula 1: Hamilton fuelled by boos from crowd after Hungary pole

BUDAPEST: Seven times Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton said booing from the crowd only fuelled his determination after heThe Mercedes driver is locked in a fierce battle with Red Bull's world championship leader Max Verstappen, with passions running high after their collision at the previous race.

"Honestly, I've never actually felt so great with the booing. If anything, it just fuels me. So I don't really mind."The Silverstone clash dumped Verstappen out at speed while Hamilton, deemed guilty of dangerous driving by Red Bull, collected a penalty but still won, slashing the Dutch driver's overall advantage to eight points.

"Do you think I could have gone quicker and then just been closer to Valtteri?... I'm not playing any tactics. I don't need to play no tactics, man. I know what I'm doing in the car, I'm fast enough. I don't need to add tactics." Red Bull team boss Christian Horner, who was strongly critical of the Silverstone collision, was not getting hot under the collar about it."It's a bit of gamesmanship," Horner told Sky Sports television when asked about the out-lap."Lewis had got a hell of a lap in the bank and then obviously he's just backing things up.

"It's his right to do that, he's got the track position. I haven't got a major issue. It's all about tomorrow."
