Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen have been in a feisty rivalry since the past couple of years. The Dutchman beat the Mercedes driver to deny him his record-breaking 8th title in a controversial manner. However, their rivalry hasn’t dried up yet. Although Lewis is nowhere near the title fray this year, it has not stopped Max from taking shots at Hamilton.

Verstappen continued this season from where he left off last season. However, Lewis and Mercedes have struggled to keep up with the new regulations.

However, Lewis fans were not impressed with the comments made by the double-world champion. They trolled the Red Bull driver heavily on Twitter for the same. Furthermore, they reminded Verstappen of the numerous times Lewis has used the Red Bull driver’s name in his interviews.
