Lewis Hamilton sends message to Max Verstappen with three words

Lewis Hamilton issued a three-word response to Max Verstappen’s Brazilian Grand Prix drive as he congratulated the Red Bull driver on his incredible victory.

11 races after his last victory in June’s Spanish Grand Prix, Verstappen‘s “simply lovely” catchphrase was heard over the radio again as the Red Bull driver romped to the victory at the Interlagos circuit.

Max Verstappen raced from 17th to 1st in Brazil
And he did it in style.

A tough qualifying session in the rain on Sunday morning ended for Verstappen in Q2 when he was caught out by the timing of a late red flag. Lance Stroll crashed his Aston Martin at Turn 3 with Verstappen having to slow for the double waved yellows, which left him down in 12th place

With the red flag waved some 40 seconds later, the FIA opted not to restart Q2 as there was only 1m37s left on the clock.

Adding to Verstappen’s misery, a five-place grid penalty meant he lined up 17th on the grid while his title rival Lando Norris was on pole position. But that didn’t stop Verstappen.

The Dutchman put in arguably one of the best wet-weather drives ever as he raced his way through the field before, this time, the fortunate timing of a red flag for Franco Colapinto’s crash secured his P2 in the running order as he was handed a free pit stop.

He made short work of passing Esteban Ocon at the restart before pulling away from the Alpine driver, taking the chequered flag 19.477s ahead.

It was a drive applauded by his rivals on the grid.
