The Mercedes driver’s hopes of an all-time record eighth F1 title vanished due to the incorrect application of a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Safety Car rule from race director Michael Masi, allowing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen to take advantage.

Hamilton resisted tꦆhe urge to complain too abrasively.

“The way Lewis handled it was fantastic,” ex-F1 driv🌺er Coulthard said. “Maybe when he was younger it would have been more difficult to do that.

“But he’s in his late-30s, he’s done a few laps. I think with age com🍌𝓡es maturity.

“The benefit of youth is you don’t know, so you’re not scared of anything. As you get older, you 🧸start to understand the consequences. But that maturity I think enables you to deal with different situations.

“I would ha🐈ve kicked off! I would still be complaining to the European Court of Appeal!”

𒐪Coulthard was asking if some of the pricklier drivers from F1 history would have been as sportsmanlike as Hamilton: “It’s a great question. Because all of these different drivers, all of these greats that have been multiple world champions, have had very different personalities.

“I would like to belie🧸ve, though, in my romantic mꦿotorsports heart that there was enough competitive respect. Because even when you had Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna at their worst or Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell, there was always a handshake.

“It’s like a boxer. They beat the hell out of each other and then they shake haꦕnds aꦯt the end, because there’s an underlying understanding of what it’s taken to get to that point.”

Hamilton’s opportunity at true revenge could come in 2023 if he is able to return to the championship picture and end Ver🐷stappen’s reign.
