F1 news: Christian Horner clarifies Max Verstappen ‘childish’ radio from GP Lambiase

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner was quick to clarify that Max Verstappen’s race engineer, Gianpiero Lambiase, was not actually directly referring to the three-time World Champion himself when he used the word “childish” when discussing an apparent move under braking from Lewis Hamilton on Sunday.

Speaking to media after the race, Horner explained that ‘GP’ was in fact using ‘childish’ in response to how teams look to goad the FIA into giving out penalties.

Every word between Max Verstappen and GP Lambiase in tense Hungarian GP

As a result, we’ve compiled the team radio exchanges between the two so you can see for yourself.

Lewis Hamilton on ‘hostility’ after Max Verstappen clash

Both Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen shook hands after their latest on-track contact in Hungary, and Hamilton himself said to the stewards he felt this was a racing incident, though the seven-time World Champion admitted any lingering “hostility” from Verstappen’s side will likely always be there.

He said after the race: “I mean, from what I can remember, obviously we passed a backmarker. I got to the braking zone, and then Max appeared, to overtake the car behind me, so I moved over to defend.

“I left enough room in the inside, but Max locked up, and he was going a different trajectory to me. I was going towards, around the corner, and he came shooting across.

“It felt like a racing incident. And it’s easy to make mistakes like that. And so I don’t feel there should be any hostility. But of course, from his side, there always will be.”
