Lammers urges fans not to boo Lewis Hamilton when he races at Zandvoort

The race for the championship between Verstappen and Hamilton has never been this intense. On top of that, the incident between the two drivers was a turning point in their rivalry. Hence, when they face each other at Max’s home race, Lammers asked fans not to boo Hamilton.

Speaking to De Telegraph as quoted from Grandpx.news, The Dutch boss said, “If Hamilton comes to the Netherlands for the grand prix, please make sure he is treated with respect instead of this vulgar booing.”

“Show your decency when a seven-time world champion comes here. We should be proud of that. It is downright antisocial and unwise to yell ‘boo’. Respect is something you have to show if you want to get it for yourself.”

“As motorsport enthusiasts, we have to show that we handle this situation in a better way. Make sure that other people don’t have to be ashamed… I know it’s impossible to forgive someone who doesn’t admit their mistake, but Max has risen above it and so can you,” he somewhat harshly concluded.
