BREAKING:Lewis Hamilton Questions Verstappen’s C…read more .
Lewis Hamilton has voiced his frustration over what he sees as a double standard in Formula 1 when it comes to accusations of abuse. The seven-time world champion took to social media to share his thoughts following comments made by Max Verstappen about the mistreatment of drivers. Hamilton pointed out that while both drivers, like others, face criticism and abuse from fans and the media, the reaction to such behavior often differs depending on the person involved.
Hamilton’s statement followed Verstappen’s remarks, in which the Dutch driver spoke out against the online abuse he has received and called for stronger measures to protect drivers from personal attacks. However, Hamilton argued that Verstappen, who has previously addressed the criticism Hamilton has encountered, hasn’t always condemned similar abuse aimed at others.
Through a series of social media posts, Hamilton stressed the importance of fairness and mutual respect, urging drivers to stand together in rejecting all forms of verbal abuse, regardless of the individual targeted. He also pointed out that double standards should not be tolerated in the sport, particularly when it comes to personal attacks and online harassment.
Hamilton’s comments have sparked widespread debate among fans and commentators, with many highlighting the inconsistency in how abuse is handled in F1. As the sport’s global audience grows, it remains to be seen whether Hamilton’s call for change will lead to a shift in how such issues are addressed in the future.
