The Austrian Grand Prix is a home race for Mercedes' rivals Red Bull, and has attꦡracted masses of orange-clad Max Verstappen fans.
Last week at the F1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, Verstappen was booed by some fans but Hamilton cond⛄emned that treatmentꦬ.
The rivalry between Mercedes and Red Bull, which hit boiling point after the controversial end to last season, has began creeping back to the fore in recent 🐽weeks.
The drivers and team principles have𓆏 clashed over FIA rules and driving strategies.
But Hamil🦋ton has been forced to watch his old nemesis Verstappen c𒆙ruise to winning the sprint race on Saturday.
And Hamilton admitted🐭 he has done further damage to his Me✅rcedes, 24 hours after crashing in Qualifying.
He said ♉about his sprint race struggles: 🌠"I got a bit of wheel-spin and was under attack by the cars around me.
"Pierre Gasly mo𝔍ved over on me, so I hadꦕ nowhere to go.
"It definitely wasn’t the same as this morning but it w🐼as driౠvable, so I’m grateful for that.
"So lucky. I am grateful ✅to have finished. I got one point, so…
"The F🍌errari power is too much for us, at the moment. It wasn’t the most fun of races.
"Something was wrong with the steering."
