Verstappen criticizes Hamilton after Chinese Grand Prix collision

talksport.com

During the recent Grand Prix in China, Max Verstappen pointed out a clash involving Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. The two Ferrari drivers collided early in the race, causing damage to Leclerc's car. Hamilton was leading when he and Leclerc got caught up in the tight corners. Leclerc's front wing hit Hamilton's rear wheel. Luckily for Hamilton, he avoided a puncture, but Leclerc lost part of his front wing. In the moment, Hamilton expressed concern over the radio, saying he had been hit. Verstappen quickly informed his team about Leclerc's damaged wing. Commentators noted that if race officials saw the car as unsafe, they could force Leclerc to pit, which would have helped Verstappen gain a position. Despite the damage, Leclerc's engineer discussed the loss of downforce but suggested they could manage until their first pit stop. Leclerc confidently responded, "We can survive!"
