Max Verstappen says he doesn’t care about being booed by F1 fans at the BritishGP, while Lewis Hamilton tells his home crowd: 'we’re better than that'
"I think we’re better than that,” said the seven-time world champion, who was on the receiving end of booing from Verstappen’s fans at the Hungarian and Dutch grands prix last year.
"It doesn’t make any difference when you boo someone, they’ve already made the mistake, or whatever it is. But I really do appreciate the support I have here. Maybe some of them are still feeling the pain from last year, still.”Mercedes boss Toto Wolff also condemned the “unsportsmanlike” behaviour towards Verstappen.“It’s clear we love the support the drivers have here and the enthusiasm, that’s fantastic. But if you are not into the other guys I think it’s best to remain silent.
