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 Silꦇverstone. 

Hamilton had appe🍌ared to back Ve🤡rstappen up coming out of the pits and the 2021 protagonists proceeded to go wheel-to-wheel down the Wellington Straight. 

Verstappen squeezed past Hamilton into Brooklands as the seven-time world champion was weaving in a bid to generate heat into his soft ty𓂃res 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. 

As🉐ked about the latest incident, Wolff said: “I t🧔hink this is normal modus operandi. 

“You try to have good track position and the clock is ticking dow💃n so you are making sure you get your l🎀ap in. Nothing out of the ordinary.”

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

“I just tried to get by, but of course he was tryin♏g 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, insisti🧔ng: “I wasn’t racing anybody.”
