Despite Cooking Up SpaceX Plans With Lewis Hamilton, Elon Musk Switches Sides to Shake Hands With Max Verstappen & Co. After Major Proposal

The Miami GP brings people from all over the world together. Be it movie stars, pop singers, or other sports celebrities, everyone enjoys the party in Miami. This time, there was a special guest in the Red Bull garage: SpaceX founder Elon Musk. He was snapped holding his son alongside Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, and Christian Horner. For everyone, it was a normal excursion for the American billionaire, but for Lewis Hamilton fans, it was quite a shock. But why?

Hamilton and Musk had elaborate plans to go to space, as Lewis has previously recalled having a great time with Musk whenever the circus traveled to the United States. However, this time, the Briton was served with a betrayal as Musk joined forces with Hamilton’s arch nemesis, Max Verstappen. There, Musk reportedly had talks where he proposed quite an interesting prospect: an EV vs. gas or hybrid race.

In a reply to an ESPN tweet, the Twitter owner said, “Fun discussion of aero & battery technology in F1. I proposed a pure EV vs gas/hybrid F1 race.” This is a serious tweet from the Tesla CEO, who has actively participated in the EV industry. The proposal coming from him could trigger talks in the future about a race between the two types of series.

Amid all of this, the betrayal, in fun sorts, was delivered to Lewis Hamilton, since the two weren’t spotted together after reportedly making elaborate casual plans over the years.

Elon Musk’s plans with Lewis Hamilton

One might think that the two people would not come together. But as per statements from Lewis Hamilton in the past, the two appear to be hanging out quite often, or at least annually, at the United States GP in Austin, Texas.

During the Australian GP of this year, the Briton, as quoted by Formula 1, said, “I am going, yes, at some stage, but I’ll let some other people go first because those things blow up on the way up…”

“He’s talking about going to Mars, but I’m ready to go to space at any stage. I told him that I’d fly the ship, but I think it’s all automated!”
