HE’S NOT WORTHY: Danica Patrick Calls Out Lewis Hamilton, Says Max Verstappen Should’ve Won British GP… see more
Former racing driver Danica Patrick has weighed in on the controversy surrounding the 2024 British Grand Prix, accusing Lewis Hamilton of cheating and stating that Max Verstappen should have been the rightful winner.
In an impassioned statement during a recent interview, Patrick expressed frustration over what she claims was unfair favoritism towards Hamilton. According to her, Verstappen was performing at his peak during the race and deserved the victory but was allegedly hindered by questionable tactics and decisions by Hamilton’s camp.
Patrick pointed out that Hamilton’s strategy in the latter part of the race was suspicious, insinuating that there were irregularities in how he maintained his lead. Though she did not provide specific evidence, her criticism touched on Hamilton’s controversial history with Verstappen, particularly recalling incidents from previous seasons where tensions between the two drivers ran high.
“The race should have gone to Max. He was dominant, but once again, Lewis found a way to manipulate the situation in his favor. It’s unfair, and it’s not the first time,” Patrick said. “Max was clearly the better driver at Silverstone, but Lewis gets away with bending the rules. He’s not worthy of that win.”
Her comments have ignited a firestorm of debate among racing fans, with many taking sides on the ongoing rivalry between Hamilton and Verstappen. While some support Patrick’s stance, others argue that Hamilton’s tactics were within the regulations and part of his mastery on the track.
As of now, neither Hamilton nor Verstappen has commented on Patrick’s remarks, but the tension between the two drivers is likely to intensify as the Formula 1 season progresses.
