Alonso and Hamilton sat together watching race highlights anꦚd commented on the efforts 𝕴of the Aston Martin driver’s teammate Lance Stroll.
World champion and race winner Verstappen then entered and, at first, Hamilton did not avert his eyes from the television♈.
Alonso then sa🥃id to Verstappen? “The first lap was not eas꧅y, huh?”
Verstappen approached the other two and replied: “Especially the first restart, or second restart. Because the Safety Car is driving so⛄ slℱowly you can’t put any heat on them. It’s like ice.”
Hamilton looked at Verstappen, nodded, a𒉰nd agreed.
It had the potential to be one of the more awkward cool down room conversations - there is no love lost between Hamiltoܫn and either of the other drivers.
But it passed without major incident.
Red Bull have won 𒊎all three races in 2023 so far, twice via Verstappen who is already on course for a third consecutive championship.
