The Brazilian Grand Prix naturally attracted a lot of conversations among the F1 fans. Lewis Hamilton put up an exceptional show for his fans around the world. His rivalry with his Dutch counterpart Max Verstappen was the hot talking point of the whole weekend. The Briton finished on the top, with a 10.496 second-gap to second-placed Verstappen.
Reactions were coming in on social media on this ultimate rivalry for the championship. British TV host and broadcaster Piers Morgan also joined the conversation sooner than later sharing a demeaning tweet targeted at championship contender Max Verstappen.
