Christian Horner addresses Gianpierꦏo Lambiase’s “childish” remark at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Christian Horner has clarified Gianpiero Lambiase’s “childish” remark which initially appeared to be directed at 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen following his clash with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Verstappen was incredibly frustrated with how his race played out, venting his annoyance over team ra𝓰dio.
His engineer, ‘GP’, also seemed to be running out of patience with Verstappen’s ✨complaining.
After his tangle with Hamilton at Turn 1 on Lap 63, Verstappen sai🐻d over team radio: “He moved under braking!”.
GP replied: “I’m not even going to get into a rad🍸io fight with the other teams, Max. We’ll let the stewards do their thing. It’s childis🌺h on the radio. Childish.”
Horner has set the record straight on Lambiase’s comment, making it clear that the “childish” remark wasn’t d🀅irected at Verst♕appen.
“I think GP at that point wasn’t referring to Max, he was referring to others on the radio complaining about penalties,” Horner said in Hungary, where 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:mahbx.com are present in the paddock.

“They've been together for eight y𓄧ears and yeah there's things that we could have done b෴etter in the race today, but it's something that we'll talk about as a team.”

“Everybody sees that we need to find more p𒉰erformance, and everybody's working hard to do that. We'll have whatever discussions [needed] behind closed doors,” he added.
“Max was frustrated. Which you can understand, he has a very direct ♑line of communication with his engineer. That's something that they'll discuss between the two of them.”
