In a recent twist in Formula 1, Lewis Hamilton has reportedly advised rival Max Verstappen to pay no mind to the FIA penalty he received, despite the two drivers having had a period of minimal communication.
The penalty in question stems from a controversial ruling during the latest Grand Prix, which sparked debate among fans and drivers alike. Verstappen, who has been on a dominant run this season, received a penalty from the FIA that many feel could impact the championship race. However, Hamilton, known for his intense rivalry with Verstappen, surprisingly reached out to offer his advice on how to handle the situation.
“Don’t let it get to you,” Hamilton is said to have remarked, encouraging Verstappen to keep his focus on the remaining races. This comes after a period of icy relations between the two, with both maintaining a noticeable silence towards one another since their last on-track clash.
The interaction marks a rare moment of camaraderie between the two drivers, who have battled fiercely over the past few seasons. Verstappen, although silent on Hamilton’s comments, is expected to push forward in the next race, potentially disregarding the penalty, just as Hamilton suggested.
As the F1 season heads into its final stages, all eyes are on how this unexpected advice from Hamilton could affect the ongoing rivalry and the fight for the championship title.
