It was quite a sight to see Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen racing once again on the track in F1. The two feisty racers are rivals on the track and produced one of the greatest seasons in 2021 with their battles.

But it was no such story as the Red Bull driver breezed past Hamilton to regain the second place. But the current world champion was not happy after his pit stop as he came behind the 7-time world champion. He took to his team radio to complain about the situation.

Verstappen asked why he was behind his rival to his race engineer. “Why didn’t you make sure I F***ing end up in front!” asked the Dutch driver. But his race engineer calmly responded, “Didn’t have the pace.”

Although the battle did not last long, it was good to see Hamilton racing against Verstappen once again. He has endured a tough start to the season. But this will give him hope to go into future races.
