And while Hamilton is known to be a person who doesn’t let negative comments get to him, such a situation is bound to affect anyone.

What did Toto Wolff say?
The Raging Bulls were left with a bitter taste in their mouth, as not only they lost on points, but Verstappen had a massive crash in the opening laps. Hence, Horner was vocal about Hamilton calling the move on Max a “desperate move” and labeled him as a dirty driver.

He said, “I think it was a desperate move. He failed to make the move in the first part of the lap, which he was obviously geared to do, and then it was just a desperate move sticking a wheel up the inside which you just don’t do.
