“Hatred Closes People’s Ears”: Hypocrisy Accusations Against Lewis Hamilton Thrown Out as LH Army Provides Evidence to Counter Max Verstappen’s Claims

Lewis Hamilton is a people’s driver. Whenever Hamilton meets a fan, he greets the person with utmost respect and kindness. It’s even seen in his interview where he always thanks the fans for showing up for the race. However, Lewis Hamilton was recently accused of being a hypocrite because of his recent statements about car development and rules. The LH army got together to throw them in the bin and counter the claims made by Max Verstappen. What evidence did the LH army provide?

Max Verstappen and Co. have already eked out a 150+ points lead over the other constructors behind them. The dominance of the Dutchman and his machine is uncanny. As Red Bull has already shifted their focus to next year’s car, Lewis Hamilton advised that there should be a specific date when teams start work on next year’s car so that there isn’t any advantage to a team who starts earlier. Hamilton made this statement hoping for closer racing.

Max Verstappen however threw a jab back at Hamilton and said “Life is not fair, not only in Formula 1.” Lewis Hamilton was in Max Verstappen’s position for 7 years during the initial years of the Turbo Hybrid era. However, the LH army has come out to provide evidence against accusations of hypocrisy against Lewis Hamilton. @Fiagirly posted Lewis Hamilton’s comments from a 2019 interview on Twitter which read “If you say that it’s boring, I totally understand it and I remember growing up watching. [You] should put the pressure on the people that are at the head, who should be doing the job.”

This advises that Hamilton has always been encouraging closer racing. The 38-year-old expected the FIA to make such rules so that it promotes closer racing. Many fans took to social media to counter Max Verstappen’s accusations against Lewis Hamilton. Let’s see what they had to say.
