MUST-SEE: Old rivals Verstappen and Hamilton touch in fight for P3
There were shades of 2021 as Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton made contact seven laps from the end of the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix.
The pair – who famously made contact several times in their battle for the 2021 title – were fighting over the final podium spot – behind the two McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, who were embroiled in their own team orders controversy – when Verstappen lunged down the inside of the Mercedes into Turn 1 on Lap 63 of 70.
Verstappen tagged the right front tyre of Hamilton, pitching the rear of his Red Bull RB20 into the air – with Verstappen claiming that Hamilton had moved under braking, as he re-joined the race in P5.
