Verstappen condemns ‘disgusting’ fans who burned Hamilton merchandise
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Reigning Formula 1 World Champion Max Verstappen has criticised fans that appeared to burn Lewis Hamilton’s merchandise at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

A video circled on social media during the weekend that appeared to show the incident taking place.

Verstappen and Hamilton endured an intense rivalry last year, with Verstappen beating Hamilton to the 2021 Drivers’ title.

Fan behaviour has been a prominent subject this year, after a number of people were allegedly subject to sexual abuse at the Austrian Grand Prix earlier this season.

Last weekend, F1 launched the ‘Drive It Out’ campaign as it looks to tackle the issue of abuse.

The incident in Hungary was the latest occurance to be brought to light, with Verstappen condemning the actions.

“Yeah, that’s of course not acceptable. I definitely don’t agree with that because that’s just disgusting,” he said.

“But overall, I think the majority of the fans which also were cheering a lot, I think throughout the race and also on the podium for every driver, I think that’s how it should be. 

“And yeah, those videos, or video, of burning merch I think that’s disgusting.”

Verstappen won Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix and now holds a healthy 80-point lead over Charles Leclerc in the Drivers’ Championship.

    It’s becoming a habit with the insidious Dutch Orange Red Bull fans. I hope those that are found being absolute cretins are banned from all F1 races and circuits.
    It’s enough to have idiots lighting Orange flares and being sex pests trying to up skirt woman and giving out racial slurs to mixed couples of differing ethnicities.
    Dutch Red Bull fans are now the Vanguard of the far right . Next thing they’ll be hoping for is a new form of Apartheid in The Netherlands, they so swiftly endorsed as they took over swathes of South Africa in the 19th & 20th Century.
    It’s not helped by the clag nuts in charge of Red Bull….aka The 3 Crankies… Mini-Me Horner, Prince of Darkness Marko & the burnt orange leathery skinned Budgie Smuggler wearing Massiveshitz.
    Who seem to stir up their goose stepping Orange shirts to blitz away. I’m expecting a splattering of Nazi salutes at the Belgium GP & Dutch GP.
    “Sieg Sieg Seigahhh✋ the new version of the awful Spice Girl tune !

    It wasn’t the Dutch who used to jeer and abuse Rosberg. It wasn’t the Dutch who sent up a huge cheer when Verstappen was rammed off the track at 190mph and hit the wall with 51G of force at Silverstone last year. It wasn’t the Dutch who sent death threats to Michael Masi and his family following the outcome of the 2021 championship.

    And it wasn’t you who took a breath and considered where such behaviour originated before writing a bag of shite which illustrates a total lack of comprehension of cause and effect.
