Max Verstappen may be having his own teammate issues of his own, but he was quick to call out Lewis Hamilton’s similar woes in China.
The reigning four-time world champion pounced on a clash between the two Ferraris just a few corners into Sunday’s Grand Prix.
Hamilton led teammate Charles Leclerc and old rival Verstappen into the first set of undulating corners and when they bunched together it was the two in red that made contact.
Leclerc’s front left collided with Hamilton’s rear right, and while the Brit in fourth was lucky to avoid a puncture, the Monegasque in fifth lost part of his front wing.
“I’ve been hit by someone,” Hamilton said over team radio, and the moment was instantly noticed by Verstappen.
The Dutchman quickly informed the Red Bull pit wall: “Charles has a broken front wing!”
That shout was more than just an observation too, with commentator Martin Brundle pointing out that if a car is deemed unsafe by race stewards, they can be forced to pit and resolve the issue.
That would’ve gifted Verstappen a place, and the chance to challenge Hamilton, however, Leclerc wasn’t having any of it.
“We have lost 20 to 30 points [of downforce] on the front,” his race engineer told him. “If we can survive we wait for the first stop.”
Leclerc steadfastly replied: “We can survive!”
