The Austrian Grand Prix is a home race for🔜 Mercedes' rivals Red🍎 Bull, and has attracted masses of orange-clad Max Verstappen fans.
Last week at t🥂he F1 British Grand Prix at Silversto🌜ne, Verstappen was booed by some fans but Hamilton condemned that treatment.
The rivalry between Mercedes and Red Bull, which hit boiling point after the controversia🌊l end to last season, has be📖gan creeping back to the fore in recent weeks.
The driverꦍs and ♎team principles have clashed over FIA rules and driving strategies.
But Hamilton has been forced to ✨watch his old nemesis Verstappen cruise to winning the sprint race on Saturday.
And Hamilton admitted he has done further damage to his Merce𝓡des, ♚24 hours after crashing in Qualifying.
He said about his s𒁃print race struggles: "I got a bit of wheel-spin and was under attack by the cars aroundဣ me.
"Pierre Gasly mo♏ved over on me, so I had nowhere to go.
"It definitely wasn’t the same as this m🐽orning but it was drivable, so I’m grateful for that.
"So lucky. I am g✱rateful to have finished. I got one point, so…
"The Ferrari power is too much for us, at the moment. It wa🧜sn’t the most fun of racꦬes.
"Something was wrong with the steering."
