Hamilton and Verstappen came to blows amid a ferocious battle for ཧthe lead on the opening lap at Silverstone two years ago, with Verstappen ending up in hospital after a huge crash while&nb🌃sp;his arch rival won the race. 

The controversial incident prompted a furious reaction from H𝔍orner, who labelled Hamilton as “desperate” and “completely out of order”. 

24 months on and Horner couldn’t resist a playful dig when asked what was going through his head when he saw Verstappen lose the lead to McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris at the start of Sunday’s race. 

“My thoughts w♐🍸ere ‘not great’, but at least he came through Copse!” Horner joked. 

“Once he was through Copse I thought at least I can go over to the pit wall and from there it was just a matter of se🍸ttling in and staying i♋n the DRS.”

Asked 🅺if the memories of Verstappen and Hamilton’s clash were now history, Horner replied: "Look, it’s history now but it’s always nice to see a car come through there on the first lap.” 

Verstappen regained the lead from Norris on lap five and cruised to his sixth consecutive victory - his eighth in 10 races this season.&nbs꧃p;

Explaining his start, Verstappen🌟 said: "Just a lot of wheelspin, so as soon as ꧙that happens you lose so much drive all the way to Turn 1.

"Then I just tried to stay out of trouble in Turns 3 and 4 and then I had a good battle with Oscar into Copse and I had to stay on the outside, but it all wo﷽rked out."
