The former arch riv😼als were seen squabbling for track position when they found themselves at the back of the queue before the final runs of Q1 at Silverstone. 

Hamilton had appear♒ed to back Verstappen up coming out of the pits and the 2021 protagonists proceeded to go wheel-to-wheel down the Wellington Straight. 

Verstappen squeezed past Hamilton into Brooklands as the seven-time world champion was weaving in a bid to generate heat into his soft tyres prior to his final run of Q1. Both were able to get in a lap just before the cheque꧒red flag was waved. 𒉰;

It marked the second time in two races that the pair have had a close shave during a qualifying session, with Wolff accusing Verstappen of committing a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“revenge foul” against Hamilton in Austria. 

Asked about the latest incident, Wolff said: “I think this is normal𝓰 modus operandi. 

“You try to have good track position and the clock is ticking down so you are making sure🦂 y💜ou get your lap in. Nothing out of the ordinary.”

Verstappen explained: “No, it was just on the outlap, I had very cold tyres because m❀ost of the people in front of me had new tyres, but I stayed on my uꦺsed set. 

“I just tr🐼ied to get by, but of course he was trying to warm the tyres, so it took a bit of time to find a bit of space to go through.”   

Hamilton also downplayed the incident, insisting: “I wasn’t racing ꦏanybody.”
