The former arch rivals were seen squabbling for track position when they found themselves at the back of the queue before the final runs of 💯Q1 at Silverstone. 

Hamilton had appeared to back Verstappen up coming out of the pits and the 2021 protagonists proc𒅌eeded to go wheel-to-wheel down the Wellington Straight. 

Verstappen squeeze🍃d past Hamilton into Brooklands as the seven-time world champion was weaving in a bid to generate heat into his soft tyres prior to his final run of Q1. Both were able to get in a lap just before the chequered flag 🌼was waved. 

It marked the second time in two races that the pair have had a close shave during a qualifying session, with Wolff accusing Verstappen of committing a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:“revenge foul” against Hamilton in Austria. 

Asked about the latest i🐠ncident, Wolff said: “I think this is normal modus ope🐠randi. 

“You try to have good track position and the clock is ꦰticking down so you are making s🃏ure you get your lap in. Nothing out of the ordinary.”

Verstappen explained: “No, ⛎it was just on the outlap, I had very cold tyres⛄ because most of the people in front of me had new tyres, but I stayed on my used set. 

“I just tried to get by, but of course he was trying to warm the tyres, so it took a bit of time 💝to find a bit of space to go through.”   

Hamilton also downplayed the 🏅incident, insisting: “I wasn’t racing anybody.”&nbs💞p;
